    We're back on the miconazole treatment, as she's actually been spitting up / "leaking" a goopy white fluid intermittently (first goop was on Thursday 5/19, while she had been allowed free range of the enclosure / access to feed, we had a second small goop-ening over the weekend), and her crop...

    There's no coughing, and she's able to eat. We're reading up on gapeworm though, to be better educated and see if that could be it, so I appreciate the information! Her chest does seem a bit more full than the other gals (perhaps she's just a bit more busty? 🙃 ), but there's now a...

    Just wanted to share an update on my Easter Egger with y'all. Monday evening (5/16) was the "end" of her 7 day miconazole treatment, and it absolutely seemed to help! Her crop is back to emptying like normal, and she's back to eating her regular feed, as opposed to the special diet. She is...

    Just sharing some pictures of this little lady being a goober (she basically dunked her head in her food) 🙃

    Not sure how I missed this message, but I appreciate you reaching out! I'll do some research on upper respiratory issues and gape worm.

    I have been changing up the administration of the miconazole. I was able to add it to her greek yogurt or scrambled eggs for the first few doses, but I think she became aware of it, and got a little pickier with her food. Twice I've been able to squirt a little straight from the tube and get...

    She spit up after handling her. I’ve been massaging her crop, bottoms up. We have her isolated so she doesn’t have access to the regular feed (we have them on the organic feed they were started on, payback hatch to hen), as we have read it is important to “starve” the bad bacteria, essentially...

    UPDATE: Okay, it's sour crop for sure. In my checks on her today, I'm now hearing the gurgling, and she has spit up some white fluid (we've been feeding her yogurt + garlic water, so it could be that). Purchased some 2% miconazole today, starting the 1/2 inch of the cream 2x daily as per the...

    I called 2 clinics in the area that are supposed to treat backyard chickens, and one is not accepting new clients, and the other is booked a month out, so I don't think getting in to see a vet is an option :(

    Hi all! Not having great luck with my first little backyard flock… My chickens came home on Wednesday 4/27, and as soon as the next day I noticed our Easter Egger doing some weird movements with her head & neck - sort of squiggle stretching it out long, and opening her beak. I was out of town...
