    Sour Crop without full crop???

    I am replying to my own post with an amazing update. I think I may have stopped all medication to my turkey in late Sept/early October, and she has lived through her third Thanksgiving... Also Christmas... Fat and happy! She never did spend nights indoors, although I wonder what we would...

    Sour Crop without full crop???

    Hello Debbie & Bob, thank you for replying to my post. I wanted to give an update, for myself and anyone else who may find this thread later. The corid didn't seem to help, but my turkey did eventually respond to the miconazole for sour crop, and started eating & digesting overnight again. I had...

    Sour Crop without full crop???

    Updates since last post: - I checked the coop and several chickens for mites as best I could, and didn't find anything. Two chickens are now losing feathers though. - Turkey's yellow poop stopped and it's not very much but the consistency today (Tuesday) looks almost normal. - Tuesday...

    Sour Crop without full crop???

    Hi Bob, how do I find out where the hotspots for blackhead are?? Just in case I bought some Corid today, and intend to try that starting tomorrow. This morning I got some more coconut oil and cayenne pepper and garlic into her, but she still didn't eat before bedtime. :( I was so happy when...

    Sour Crop without full crop???

    Hi Debbie, thanks for writing back! And I hadn't seen that second article yet - that was great! Tonight her crop still seems empty, she's just not eating anything. Someone else posted about emaciation from blackhead and "fake foraging", which I think she's doing. Thankfully the yellow poop...

    First experience with bumblefoot

    Gosh, I don't know how to answer this one. Here's the thing, if it were the edges of the perches or something, wouldn't they have it year-round?? Some of my perches are head-high (I'm 5'6", although to get down they go from this one to that one to the next and then to the ground. I do have...

    Sour Crop without full crop???

    Hello, please help my turkey! 🩷🥺 I have a 2yo heritage hen who has been off her feed enough that she's lost significant weight. I brought her inside last night and she really isn't eating (not eggs, yogurt, fruit, mealworms or regular feed/pellets - all the stuff she usually loves) or pooping...

    First experience with bumblefoot

    I've also had good luck with Banixx for Chixx! Am going to order some Prid. I live in a dry climate (not hot, but not TOO cold) and for whatever reason we tend to have more problems in the summer. Makes doctoring easier as the days are longer! Last summer my entire flock had it so we'll see...

    Make me feel better about penning my former free-rangers :(

    Your chickens will always tell you that you are ruining their lives. It's ok. :) First mine said I was ruining their lives by putting them to bed in their coop instead of on my back porch where they wanted to stay up until 10-11PM. (Like small children!) Then they complain I'm ruining their...
