    Sour/impacted crop treatment

    hi everyone! I acquired a copper maran hen yesterday. She has severe sour/impacted crop. I'm thinking it's both but I'm not sure. This is the first time I deal with this.

    New born chick two broken legs

    Good morning everyone! Little Lucky is still going! I'm sure being in the chick chair isn't fun. I'm still giving her water from a dropper but I believe she's drinking bc her little bowl of water looks like it's gone down when I go check on her. Does anyone know what I can do for her as far as...

    I really appreciate your help! I was so nervous to unwrap her so many time bc I didn't want to do anymore damage. That little chick just does not keep still! Lol! I didn't want to bend her leg again to cause anymore pain. Hopefully she can recover now. Thank you for your help!

    Here's little Lucky in her chick chair. Hopefully she'll live up to her name! And then with her (I'm pretty sure he's a male) brother in the mini brooder/chick ICU. He just hatched yesterday evening I'm waiting for him to walk a little better before putting him with my other chicks.

    New born chick two broken legs

    I did a little bit more searching she has slipped tendons in both of her legs. Is there any way to recover from that for a chick? I feel so bad for her. I've been using a dropper to give her water. I'm going to try to make a thin paste with some chick feed and water to give to her later.

    Her joints are definitely popped out, she was bleeding a little bit. It's horrible. I'm letting her warm up right now. I'll try to unwrap later.

    A little bit but I wasn't sure that what this is bc her joints are popped out of the skin.

    I finally got her a little calm. I'm holding her wrapped in a towel. She's sleeping.
