I have a 4 year old hybrid whom was fairly active until a few weeks ago, she now just lazes around in the sun, sleeps and doesn't really run around the coop anymore, she just sits with her tail and head down. She's...

Our hen has been in solitary for 3 days now and after bathing, scubbing, pushing the bits back in and applying honey the prolapse doesn't seem to be getting any better and is really starting to smell. We have kept her in the dark with lots of...

    Impacted crop .....

    Her poop is normal solids little brown & white (the usual) will give her anti fungal medicine as a precaution. This one is puzzling me!? Thanks for your help, I'll keep plugging away at it!

    Impacted crop .....

    Impacted crop .....

    Her crop is huge! I'm real stumped for ideas!? It's squishy but cannot feel a blockage, it doesn't smell, she eats, runs around, poops, isn't loosing weight, lays eggs, pushes the others around etc. I've read about crop bras maybe that will help!!?
