    Impacted Crop, Young Impacted Crop

    Hi there, I've also had issues with impacted crops and have helped my chickens get through them. First, dont feed anything else to your bird until the mass is cleared. Even though your hen will be hungry, feeding her will only add to the problem since nothing is going down. My hen really enjoyed...

    Broken leg recovery?

    My speckled sussex hen either sprained or broke her leg from falling off her roost in the coop. She wouldn't put any pressure on her right leg and was having trouble standing. So we put her in a box and let her rest for about three days. We stabilized her leg using Popsicle sticks and medical...

    green runny poop

    I agree. My rooster had the same problem and after tube feeding him for about a week and he stopped pooping green. Green poop means that they using up whatever fat they have left. Could also be mareks? Sorry this isn't much help... Hope your chicken gets better!

    Both of our 2 day old chicks are dead, seemed flattened and poop their bottoms.

    Maybe.. I haven't had experience with hatching chicks under a broody hen. I get the chicks already hatched so I'm not an expert on that topic, but that does sound like something that might have happened.

    Both of our 2 day old chicks are dead, seemed flattened and poop their bottoms.

    Hmm I'm not sure about the flattened part, but I know that some chicks have problems with their poop sticking to their butts and it has to be cleared or they will die. When I raise chicks, I check them frequently and if they have dried poop stuck, I take a warm wet paper towel and gently wipe it...

    Breathing/eating/ crop problems

    Hi, My chicken has had crop problems for a long time and now she has been breathing raspy and having trouble swallowing her food. Her crop is huge and she is not doing well. Whenever I feed her she chokes down her food fast so I decided to scatter it around on the ground so she slows down. She...

    Crop bra problem...

    my chickens love cantaloupe and watermelon probably the same, so I think I'm good!

    Crop bra problem...

    Do you think that cantaloupe would do the same, because I have that but not watermelon.

    Crop bra problem...

    I have some probiotic powder already so I'll put it in her water. however she isn't really drinking her water so I'm not sure if that will help.

    Crop bra problem...

    The hard lump in her crop suddenly vanished two days ago but if I have a chicken in the future with an impacted crop I will remember this, Thanks!
