    What's the temperature where you are???

    I’m in central Wisconsin. It’s 23 here now. Supposed to have a high of 6 come Thursday so with the wind we are looking at -22. 🥶🥶 I have kept chickens through cold spells before but it never gets any less stressful. I just keep reminding myself that the itty bitty chickadees do just fine and...

    Treating for Sour crop: she’s getting worse

    Thank you for all your help and advice. I am forever grateful for the support, insight and encouragement. I got back from the store and my hen won’t even open her eyes. She is so weak she can’t hold her head up and is barely breathing. I tried to get her to drink the molasses by dropper but she...

    Treating for Sour crop: she’s getting worse

    Thank you. I am grateful for the advice and the support. It makes this slightly less difficult to deal with to know there are people out there who care and are willing to help! I really appreciate that. This hen is one of the first that my daughter and I raided from a chick. Which makes this...

    Treating for Sour crop: she’s getting worse

    Thank you. I’m heading to the store now to buy some molasses. The micanazole I bought this past Sunday. It is the Walmart brand 7 day 2% percent cream. I’ll take a pic of the label and expiration date when I get home. I opened the package Monday morning right before I gave it to her. I fasted...

    Treating for Sour crop: she’s getting worse

    I don’t know what else to do at this point. She has gotten worse overnight. She can no longer hold her head up and I can tell it is an effort for her to open her eyes.( She did once when I lifted her head up ) She is still breathing deep breathes I can see as she lays there. I am afraid to give...

    Treating for Sour crop: she’s getting worse

    Firstly thank you for replying so quickly! I really appreciate the help. I have been feeding her layer crumble with a little plain Greek yogurt and water as a mash. Also she seems to perk up when I add a meal worm or two in her dish. I have read about emptying the crop by flipping the hen but I...

    Treating for Sour crop: she’s getting worse

    Thank you so much for the advice. I am using a syringe for the micanazole. I will add in the coconut oil with her next dose. She did have an issue with impacted crop about a month ago and I when did use coconut oil it helped but I fear I did not use it long enough and we’ve snowballed to where...

    Treating for Sour crop: she’s getting worse

    Update: She’s gotten worse overnight. She can’t keep her head up at all. She is still breathing but can barely open her eyes. I don’t know what to do. Could she be allergic to the micaazole? Possible underlying condition? I feel awful syringe feeding her another dose as today is day 4 and she...

    When to isolate?

    Ok not sure if my reply posted so I’ll try again. Sorry if it did and this is repetitive. I appreciate the advice. I will check her crop again in the morning. There is no sauerkraut, unusual, or unpleasant smells so I’m pretty sure it is not sour crop. Thank you for the link. That is a major...
