    Impacted or partially blocked crop in chick?

    I had done the same with the grit! It was good to have clarification on it from the hatchery. Just offering the nutra drench, moving her by the food/dipping her beak in water multiple times a day, and offering the egg/some veggies. She didn't seem to go for the eggs but would eat food more if...

    Impacted or partially blocked crop in chick?

    You are welcome - a side note with the grit - the hatchery said to offer it in a separate dish and not to mix it with the food so she wouldn't eat too much of it when eating the food, and to make sure you use chick grit. Glad to hear your chick is a good size, Nugget being smaller was our...

    Impacted or partially blocked crop in chick?

    She is still holding her own - her wings have feathered in more and she is a bit more adventurous, but does like to stay under the brooder even though she feels of an adequate weight. I will have to get an updated photo comparing her and one of the same chicks from the group she came with. They...

    Impacted or partially blocked crop in chick?

    Update - she seems to be doing a bit better. We've been giving the oil, added grit after a few days, and been giving her the nutra drench by mouth, and added it the water along with massaging the crop and dipping her beak every time I go in to encourage her to drink more. We also separated...

    Impacted or partially blocked crop in chick?

    Will they be fine for all the chicks to have? They are all in the same thing and I don't want her to be alone (she gets upset when separated from the glock). She is pooping fairly normal - no pasty butt for her or any of the chicks. Should I offer the chick grit and see if that will help or...

    Impacted or partially blocked crop in chick?

    We have them on paper towels which they haven't eaten any of, but I don't know if the material in the shipping box she may have eaten some of it. I will have to try the coconut oil. She has water at all times, we only pulled it for last night when trying to diagnose the crop issue after...

    Impacted or partially blocked crop in chick?

    Good morning, We purchased chicks from my pet chicken that are now about a week and a half old. They are all doing well with the exception of one of the female Maran assortments, she is about half the size of the others. MPC has been great with assisting us in diagnosis and trouble shooting of...

    Hi, I'm in Tarboro, NC. New here. Looking potentially to see if anyone has some hatching eggs locally in the area for sale? I recently tried incubating shipped eggs with no success. Lynette

    Meyer or My Pet Chicken for hatching eggs

    Good afternoon, I am new to the forum 🐔🐣. I am looking to purchase hatching eggs for a second try with the incubator ( our first go round resulted in no hatches - humidity I think was the issue - too high). I had purchased eggs from meyer and also used some of our own from our hens before we...
