I do not have any chickens at this time but someday they will be apart of my life. I am interested in learning as much as possible before becoming a chicken parent. This article was very thorough.

Great Information.
Printed and saved so that I can reference it until it's practically memorized.

Thanks for putting this all in one article.

Very informative. Will keep this information handy in case of crop emergencie.

Excellent information. Very useful.

This is by far the best article I've read. It's so hard to get through all the garbage on the internet to find something useful. I loved how discuss the whole anatomy *AND* address the various 'levels' of crop symptoms. I have a question for you though:
For sour crop/yeast treatment - you call out 3 different treatments (the home concoction, vaginal cream, and Acidified Copper Sulfate) citing that each one is effective for stubborn yeast. Is one preferred over the other, or should they be tried in a certain order? It *seems* like mixing the copper sulfate in water would be the most effective treatment because you're not trying to force feed them - no?
