    Sickly chicken

    No but her symptoms are similar without the fluid. She's still turning purple but she goes back to normal after a few minutes.

    Sickly chicken

    Her eyes don't look bubbly or funny at all. In every photo I have she looks completely normal. She is even acting normal other than the random times she turns purple and scares me to death.

    Does my chicken have sour crop?

    Does her crop feel like a waterballoon or just soft? If it feels like a water balloon that is a sign of sour crop, however a crop is supposed to be soft. The chickens breath with also smell sour or yeasty if it's sour crop.

    Impacted crop

    No, she doesn't have grit. The coop is too small for her but I was thinking about that or getting her a friend that won't attack her. Thanks for the article

    How do you clean blood off feathers?

    I was thinking about bathing her but she is not doing too well so I'm going to stay away from it for now. I'll try peroxide and see if it works then I might try that if she gets a bit better.

    Very hurt hen

    I have tried the watery food but it has the same effect. I don't see any puncture wounds, but I'll have to check for the air pockets.
