    Review by 'Kkakes414' in article 'Sour Crop, Impacted Crop, Doughy Crop - Prevention and Treatments of Crop disorders'

    I have found this to be very informative and definitely something any chicken owner should have on hand. I had a hen I noticed moving really slow one day right after cleaning up another hen from vent gleet. I felt her crop it was rock hard I had looked for everything under the sun to help her...

    Proud Chicken Mama Moment

    Yes, I have seen videos of chickens being attacked with people near them. I’m so sorry that happened to you. All my girls are pretty big so idk if it would able to carry them off. I wish my ring camera would have gotten better footage. Cause I’m not sure where it came from but it looks like it...

    Proud Chicken Mama Moment

    Netting will be a little difficult to put up my yard has an odd shape where there would be to much area that can’t be supported. But the girls have a spacious run and I won’t let them out without me for some time.

    Proud Chicken Mama Moment

    On this frigid Saturday I have a predator story that ended in pure joy, thanks be to God! I live in a neighborhood setting and have a fenced in yard a lot of tree cover. I had an auto door (which will be deactivated for now) on my run so the girls can roam in the morning we’ve had no issues. My...

    Appropriate Hospital Set Up?

    I have her in a dog crate now in the garage but I just wanna get her outside cause she’s been away from the others for awhile only seen them once in the last week but also wanna make sure she’s covered.

    Appropriate Hospital Set Up?

    Would this be an appropriate recovery coop? I know it’s a rabbit hutch and I would make small modifications if need be. I have a hen that we are going on a week of battling sour/impacted crop (I’ve never dealt with it before) And I hate having her in my garage as she isn’t around the other girls...

    Impacted Crop turned Sour?

    After the oil and giving her a massage, then a little feed with a lot of water I went back out about 30-45 min later she her crop was squishy and water balloon like. I gave her some oil and then let her out with the rest of them for fresh air and socializing.

    Impacted Crop turned Sour?

    I caught one and after a fight I felt her and Ms. Frittata definitely has an impacted crop it feels nothing like Puddings whose was still fairly empty this morning.

    Impacted Crop turned Sour?

    Okay I have completed administering the coconut oil the best I could she wouldn’t peck at it so I have to place it in her mouth which obviously isn’t an easy task 😅 I massaged her crop and as I was doing it it still felt hard but not the normal hard I’m feeling. So now I’m wondering my...

    Impacted Crop turned Sour?

    Okay, so this morning when I checked her, the crop was hard and full. As it was last night before I went to bed. I massaged her for about 5 min before bed hoping it would help and she seems about the same as then. I doesn’t seem overly full but it’s definitely not emptying. I guess my next move...

She hasn’t eaten feed since Friday as everything I read said don’t let them eat as it will make it worse the most she’s eaten was the scrambled egg, she does have water available to her. I don’t have grit available but I...
