    Fish food for chickens?

    I need an update on this!!! I know it’s been years, I hope you remember, but did your eggs taste fishy? I have leftover fish food from getting rid of our tank and we just recently got chickens and thought it would be a wonderful use of the leftover fish food

    PLEASE Sour crop help!!!!!!

    Thank you so very much!!! I will read the article for sure! I kinda wondered if it was a pendulous crop since it was always so very stretched out even when she was getting a bit better. We’ve noticed she does seem to get better on the monistat treatment but just not fully recovered

    PLEASE Sour crop help!!!!!!

    Deworming didn’t help matters any unfortunately, she’s getting weaker and weaker. I’m afraid we’re going to lose her soon if something doesn’t change. I have noticed some gurgling noises around her crop

    We are going to try deworming her but haven’t seen any signs of worms, but that also doesn’t mean a thing. I’ve got pictures of her poop, her diet is Bar Ale Non-GMO 16% protein, soy and corn free layer crumble. No new symptoms which I guess is good news,

The flock has forgotten about her since she’s been sick so long that her hatch mates attack her, but she...

    We ended up mixing it with her food, but we can try it again and make sure it’s in her mouth and swallowing it

    PLEASE Sour crop help!!!!!!

    We did the monistat for about 5 days, it was hard to get her to eat any of it after a while, she eats on and off, sometimes really good and then other times not so good, her poop goes from solid to runny. We’ve been giving her a diet of yogurt and scrambled eggs. Her crop is very squishy and I...

    PLEASE Sour crop help!!!!!!

    My Ducky girl has been dealing with sour crop for weeks! We’ve done monistat 3 day suppositories, acidified copper sulfate, everything I’ve seen on the internet and NOTHING has helped her. The only next step I know to do is the vet and I don’t have the money for that. Which is why I’m here now...

    Thank you so much!! It’s been one heck of a ride! But I wouldn’t change a thing!! I personally don’t know much about meat chickens yet, we’re just getting the hang of these ladies we have now! As of right now we have actually found a wonderful Amish gentleman that has chickens that he has...
