    Help with swollen crop

    This is the third female bob white to get a swollen crop. The first two died. I did an autopsy on the first and found the crop to be completely swollen. I suspect they may be eating fire ants. They drink a little but cannot eat. I try to eliminate the fire ants but that is hard to do here in...

    Rooster/hen together 4 yrs now fighting
