    Help! Hens with sour crop, they are getting THINNER!

    Feeling their crops today, the liquid seems to have gone, they seem to all have food pellets in there. The pellets are in a compact ball. Maybe it wasn't sour crop?

    Help! Hens with sour crop, they are getting THINNER!

    They were having fresh tap water up until Thursday (when I got Lifeguard poultry tonic delivered) and from there, I was swapping between that and ACV ( FAQ page for the poultry tonic said to swap between them).

    EMERGENCY! HENS WITH BIG SQUISHY CROPS, LOSING WEIGHT

    I am thinking about making a crop bra for the each of the hens by cutting of the ends of socks and putting them around where their crops are to lift them up so they can have their food empty into their gizzards.

Been trying to figure out a crop bra because I heard it lifts up the food to help it digest (its sagging down and big, in multiple chickens).

I've seen things online about tipping them upside down and massaging to release fluid out through the beak but i've heard people on here say that that is a really bad idea as chickens have holes leading...

    Rooster with comb color changing between black and red

    Hi, Why does my rooster's comb keep changing color from black to red. Early on, its usually red and mid afternoon and afterwards its black (I think its sometimes like this in the morning too, it's just random changing). He hasn't seem to be having much food in his crop lately (past month or...
