Don’t forget when you get your shipped eggs in to enter the Farthest Shipped Eggs contest!!

I got English Orpington eggs from Papa’s Poultry in Redding, CA sent to me in SE TX. This guy was from his laced project pen. I can’t wait to order from him again.

I would say... YES! Weigh her again and see what's going on, too....

sending lots of healing energy your way!

Do you have access to a scale? That way you would *know* her weight gain or loss. Sour crop can sometimes be more of a symptom of something else going on, and not just an individual issue. How old is she? Have you checked for parasites? When was the last time they were de wormed?

Guessing it didn't work?

Nooooooooooooope.
