    This is a lash egg right?

    Her droppings were more liquid than the other girls then became more solid and normal looking. They have started becoming more soft again and frequently gets a dirty butt and I have to clean her. No urates that I’ve noticed. I have tried everything with her and most days she actually acts...

    This is a lash egg right?

    So I have a three year old hen, Redrum (I think I posted on her about her before), who stopped laying eggs in March of 2024 and then laid a lash egg in June 2024. We don’t have vets near us to take her to and none will even see her. So last year I tried all the natural home remedies I could...

    Did I just hurt my chicken with permethrin 10?!?

    Just as an update, Redrum did make a full recovery. I attached a photo. She still doesn’t lay eggs but that was an issue we were dealing with well before the permethrin. I’m too scared to use it right on the chickens now, but this spring when we cleaned out the coop after the long winter we...

    Severe pendulous crop

    Unfortunately not much has changed. She is still pendulous. We have taken her to the vet 3 times and they put a tube down her to suck out the fluid and give her medication but nothing really helped long term. She was getting better for about two weeks after my last update but then her crop...

    Severe pendulous crop

    So I wanted to post an update. Now my hen is still not out of the woods, but im slightly more optimistic. Also this is something that my family and I have tried and are seeing some success…this is not a cure, but I believe this is helping truffles. So since no medications seemed to be...

    Crop bra not working. Anything else to do for extremely pendulous crop?

    Thank you! I’m going to post this on my other thread I started but just to let you know and for anyone else who may stumble across this thread too…so we are still not out of the woods yet but Triffles’ crop has been smaller this past week! So as I had mentioned we have been to the vet three...

    Crop bra not working. Anything else to do for extremely pendulous crop?

    Also I have not tried the crop cocktail, but I'll look it up. I know nothing has worked so far, but like I said before, I'm willing to fight a little more for her! Thanks again for sharing!

    Crop bra not working. Anything else to do for extremely pendulous crop?

    Thank you for your response! I did start my own thread as well! I mostly wanted to find out what your outcome was. I did read on a Facebook group that someone used Reglan that their vet prescribed, that helps the movement of the GI tract, and it worked well for their chicken and well as...

    Severe pendulous crop

    I did speak with the vet regarding the crop reduction surgery and he said it would be $500-$700! I love my chickens but that’s a bit steep! He said he’s performed that surgery 2-3 times in the past but has lost contact with those owners, so he doesn’t know the long term effects or how those...

    Severe pendulous crop

    I have recently come across this. We are going to try and make this. I know the syringe and tube is stressful so that’s why I’ve hesitated doing it. I can tell by her keel bone that she is thinner than she used to be. I’ve been coming to the reality that euthanasia is most like going to...

    Severe pendulous crop

    This is a long post! Sorry but I have a lot of info to share! I posted a couple months ago about my two year old black copper Maran hen, Truffles, and her battle with sour/pendulous crop. I had gotten some good advice and have tried just about everything. She has had sour crop since Dec 2024...

    Crop bra not working. Anything else to do for extremely pendulous crop?

    I know this is from almost a year ago but this story is almost exactly my experience. I have posted about my hen, Truffles on here, but nothing has worked. We have been dealing with her sour/pendulous crop since December. By the time I figure out she had something wrong it was already...

    Finally cured my hen's pendulous crop, some tips

    How long did it take to treat her? I found my hen with a huge crop either end of Nov or beginning of Dec, so it’s been two months that I’ve been treating her. I haven’t used the monistat the whole time though. I was able to get my hands on some medistatin powder and then I have taken her to...

    Is this sour crop and what should I do next??

    Ok so another update (yes I’m still dealing with this lol). She’s still doing “fine” and acting herself. The vet called to get an update on Truffles about a week after the crop flush. I told her she was still acting normal, eating and drinking well, pooping normal and laying eggs, but that...

    Finally cured my hen's pendulous crop, some tips

    I’m so happy I found this! Back in early Dec I realized one of my hens had sour crop and possibly pendulous crop. I started her on monistat and tried massaging her crop, but after a week or two I noticed it hadn’t worked. So I found some medistatin online and ordered that, figured out the...
