    Using ChickenGuard On a Horizontally Tracking Door

    MARYLAND THREAD!

    The stables are still there but I can't say for sure if they still have the auction. I think they do. My home is not too far from there so I guess I've just grown used to all of the horse trailers coming by my house that I don't really pay much attention anymore. I grew up in Poolesville but...

    Impacted Crop, maybe?

    I agree with "donnavee"-it does sound like a sour crop. Although I'm not an expert by any stretch everything I've read mentions a really bad smell with sour crop. Maybe her condition makes her more susceptible to it. Something I read mentions holding the chicken upside down while massaging...

    Impacted Crop, maybe?

    I have Red Sex Link who developed the same issue back in July. I noticed one night that she was making funny head motions so I did some research @ figured out she an impacted crop. I separated her from the others, massaged her crop (which felt like it was full of sand) and gave her some olive...
