    Sour Crop resulting from Egg Yolk Peritonitis?

    Soooo it's been almost a week. I wanted to update sooner but we got hit with a bad winter storm and most of us in Texas are still without power or running water. I was worried about my girls, but they have pulled through the worst of the low temps and ice that we saw. Violet has been back to...

    Sour Crop resulting from Egg Yolk Peritonitis?

    Sounds like we have a good plan. I will continue to work on her crop with copper sulfate. I will toss the old feed and scratch. I will get them back on pelleted feed. I will try to find an agreeable place inside for these bins. I will also give them some broccoli since I just chopped a couple...

    Sour Crop resulting from Egg Yolk Peritonitis?

    I keep their feed in the Vittles Vaults as seen here: https://vittlesvault.com/products/outback-collection/ I store them on a shelf on my back porch. Of course where I am located we are always humid! I have never noticed actual whitening or mold on the feed, but that doesn't mean it's not...

    Sour Crop resulting from Egg Yolk Peritonitis?

    You know what? Right before this happened, I changed their feed but only from pelleted to crumble. Same brand, the Nutrena Naturewise Layer feed. Also, I have been racking my brain and watched a few necropsy videos with EYP and just other general informational vids about EYP. I went outside...

    Sour Crop resulting from Egg Yolk Peritonitis?

    Thank you, @TwoCrows . I definitely feel like there's an internal issue going on now. I hate to see it. I am going to give her more treatment and hope against all hope that she comes through. I will update along the way.

    Sour Crop resulting from Egg Yolk Peritonitis?

    Bad news, y'all. Sour crop is back. I noticed her standing away from everyone before bedtime last night, with the tell-tale puffy crop pushing out her feathers. I picked her up to feel her crop and she puked again. It was full of more liquid. She did so well toward the end of her 7 days. I...

    Sour Crop resulting from Egg Yolk Peritonitis?

    Another update for my dear Violet: Today is her last day in solitary confinement! In the pic below she is the one front and center. The cream colored easter egger. I would let her out about an hour before bedtime to be with her sisters. It was hard getting her alone for a pic because everyone...

    Sour Crop resulting from Egg Yolk Peritonitis?

    I just wanted to leave an update. The miconazole has helped her tremendously! She woke up today with an empty crop! Last night and this morning she did not have any excess liquid in her crop, and it felt empty this morning. She isn't a fan of eating the miconazole, I can't say I blame her lol...

    Sour Crop resulting from Egg Yolk Peritonitis?

    All excellent knowledge. Yeast cream, it is! I thought miconazole and clotrimazole were antibiotics also which led me to believe they could cause negative interactions with amoxicillin but google tells me they are an antifungals. The more you know! I have already ordered with Twin Cities the...

    Sour Crop resulting from Egg Yolk Peritonitis?

    Trust me, it wasn't hard turning down that Blue Crystal. After the lady put a huge jug in my hands I started the read the back and the big warning about wearing PPE and hazard labels all over it was enough! Our girls deserve better than that LOL I am still concerned about starting the yeast...

    Sour Crop resulting from Egg Yolk Peritonitis?

    Thank you so much. I got up to the feed store and read your message about the acidified only copper sulfate and wouldn't you know they only had the Crystal Blue brand and tried hard to sell me on it. The lady swore to me up and down she puts it in her chickens water and so does everyone else...

    Sour Crop resulting from Egg Yolk Peritonitis?

    Okay I called around and I have one store who carries the Copper Sulfate, unable to find the water soluble amoxicillin locally.

    Sour Crop resulting from Egg Yolk Peritonitis?

    I was afraid the yellow would be a sign of something bigger going on internally. In that case, I would assume it to be wise to treat with antibiotics for that instead of pursuing the sour crop as it's secondary. Feeling her belly, I do notice a slight squishiness on left and right sides, but...

    Sour Crop resulting from Egg Yolk Peritonitis?

    Very cool. I just put her back out with her sisters. So far no one is picking on her and she ran back to the ones she was always closest to. They have accepted her which I am thankful for. I will start the cream treatment today and stick with it for the full 7 days. I will be sure to update...

    Sour Crop resulting from Egg Yolk Peritonitis?

    She last laid an egg mid January. I have 16 hens/3 of which are EEs and I am certain I have their egg colors identified to each bird. But I haven't seen her go into the nest boxes for sure since mid January. She was slow to get down from her roost in the morning which also led me to bring her in...
