    sour crop

    she has gotten better!! I was worried it wasn't working at first, because the first night the bra was on her crop didn't go down at all. In fact there was no change for the first 2 days. But then on the third day i could tell it had shrunk just a bit. By the fourth day it was half the size, and...

    sour crop

    Her crown and waddles are also quite pale, though I'm assuming that's because shes not eating and drinking much?

    sour crop

    As for miconazole, I was giving her about half an inch of the cream twice a day. That's what people reccomended. however I stopped once I realized it wasn't sour crop because I didn't think it would help her pendulous crop at all. And I'll try to get some photos of her poop. :)

    sour crop

    Yeah it's definitely pendulous crop, each day it gets a bit bigger, and she's not eating or drinking much at all. I make sure to check up on her multiple times a day, and I usually massage her crop for a bit. Not because it's hard, it feels normal besides it's size, but maybe to help it drain...

    sour crop

    I've done some research and it looks like the only thing I really can try is to get her a crop bra. Is there anything else I can do, or is that it?

    sour crop

    I'm not sure what's going on with her now. I've given her miconazole for 2 days now, as well as Greek yogurt, water, and some egg. But now her crop isn't squishy it feels basically like a regular crop, maybe a little harder, but it's still not draining. I'm afraid that if I keep giving her food...

    sour crop

    So I think my hen has sour crop. Im going to put her in her own cage so that she cant get to food or water, and I'm going to get some miconazole and do that for the next 7 days. But do I put water in her cage? I know I need to take it out at night so that I can see how her crop is doing in the...

    droopy tail and wings, slight penguin walking

    Yeah sorry I forgot to update yesterday, I didn't because she was perfectly fine. I checked on her multiple times throughout the day and everything that was going on the day before wasn't happening anymore. Her tail and wings weren't droopy, I saw her eat grass and food, saw I drink water and...

    droopy tail and wings, slight penguin walking

    so I noticed that one of my chickens didn't seem right today. I'll list all the symptoms here. her tail and wing are droopy, but not to the extent of dragging on the floor, more so like they're just a little puffed out instead of hugging close to her. in fact all of her feathers are more puffed...

    bumblefoot, tricide neo

    oh yeah, so I did have a question but then I looked up other threads and found the answer. So there was no point in me posting the same question. Lol. And since it seems you can't delete a post I just edited it so there was no question. So, yes I did, but I found the answer. But thank you! :)

    Treating bumblefoot with tricide-neo

    Do you know if I would be able to use 1/4 of a tablespoon with one quart of water to make it last even longer? Or would 1/4 tablespoon be too small of an amount to do anything?

    Chickens foot is yellow and swollen?

    Ah yes, I have seen that post. I guess I forgot the part where it said it's good for up to 5 days. Thank you!

    Chickens foot is yellow and swollen?

    Ok, thank you so much! This hen that has it again did also have it a couple years back, and we tried surgery then to no success. I hope that the attempted surgery isn't what caused her to get it again. And I hope I'm not too late to help her. Do you know how many uses you get from one packet...
