    HELP! My Lop-sided Lucy is vomiting!!!

    Is it possible that Lucy has a problem with her crop - either impacted or sour? If it is impacted you will need to try and empty the contents or she will deteriorate quickly. Does her crop feel full in the morning? --- when it should be empty.

    Strange object from pullets bum - pictures **Final UPDATE post #37**

    Thanks from me too, for this update - I also was not a member when this thread was originally started and have found it extremely interesting. One of my light sussex hens died recently and when I did a "layman's autopsy" I found this object in her oviduct - very similar to Speckledhen's...
