    Sour Crop CURED with Monistat

    Yay, I'm so glad to read that it's working, yay for the starter of this thread! We lost one lovely chicken early on to complications from soured crop before we knew about this and it made us very upset, but it's a relief to know that there is a way to treat this particular problem. The chicken...

    Sour Crop CURED with Monistat

    I used Canesten (clotrimazole 100mg) it took overnight with 1/3 of the pessary to work. (we also gave her unsweetened greek youghurt and apple cider vinegar water then next day) When we gave her the first portion I honestly thought she would drown overnight, that's how huge her crop was with...

    Sour Crop CURED with Monistat

    Goldie is alot more lively today and after giving the Canesten 1/3's 2x daily (7x so far) for 4 days, with at least 2mls olive oil - it felt like her crop went from a tennis ball, to a golf ball last night, to next to nothing in her crop this am. She's been passing droppings normally and...

    Sour Crop CURED with Monistat

    Goldie has a more impacted crop now, since she has managed to pass most of the water out on the canesten treatment. So I'm trying to treat both - kill the fungus and deal as best possible with the matter in her crop. She's still managing to pass things through so I hope that's good. I've been...

    Sour Crop CURED with Monistat

    We've done the third treatment for Goldie. She's passed most all of the fluid through her and still is passing a fair amount of solid matter. Her crop is now firmer, so I've added olive oil to the yoghurt and continuing the Canesten to kill the yeast infection. Goldie is alot more perkier, and...

    Sour Crop CURED with Monistat

    This morning Goldie is looking alot more perky and has managed to pass alot of droppings over night. The crop has reduced in size significantly with just 1/3 of a canesten (clotromizole) pessary with natural greek yoghurt. We've treated her again this am, she's passed more droppings. Two...

    Sour Crop CURED with Monistat

    Hi there. I hope you don't mind if I add to the research on here. Just found one of our shavers sluggish and depressed looking this morning, didn't improve by lunch, so I brought her down to the house to warm her up (it's early fall here) and found she has a huge water balloon like crop. It took...

    Newyears baby chicks

    Kristin - Your hypothesis sounds logical. I would be guessing the same about the size, just averaging out. Probably not that bad for genetics - at least my thoughts on crosses is that they are generally stronger, sounder and somewhat unique. I say try it - see what you'll get and post the pics...

    Newyears baby chicks

    Kristin - my pleasure sharing pics, it's fun to see everyones pics, and get to share your own. I have a little obsession with crossbreeds. We have xbred cats, horses & now xbred chickens too! I love genetic variation. So these little chickens are fascinating. My husband is pretty handy with his...

    Newyears baby chicks

    Hi Donrae - that is so cool to know - I would love to see any pics you have got of the offspring. How exciting it can show up. I wondered if it could and how it may appear. That is an interesting point that the males make it look messy and the hens it can be faint on. Very cool.

    Newyears baby chicks

    The chicks still look super cute! I love how chicks follow mum's beak around. The highlight of my day today was the little peeps snatching a piece of grass they weren't going to eat and running around with it while the rest gave chase. chickens are crazy. Yeah, I have the same feeling about the...

    Newyears baby chicks

    That's cool. I look forward to seeing however they develop before you sell them. I noticed our oldest chicks 5 days old, have gotten gorgeous little wing feathers and today the oldest chicks have tail feathers, or rather little poofs of the begining of a tail! hehe. They are super speedy we pick...
