    My chicken vet recommends giving a drop of Ivermectin orally when you do the initial wound cleaning to care of anything internal. The last fly strike I had to deal with took me 3 hours to clean out all of the maggots and the eggs. We were originally cleaning with Chlorhexidine but then we...

    Comment by 'Peanutsmomma' in article 'Sour Crop, Impacted Crop, Doughy Crop - Prevention and Treatments of Crop disorders'

    Oh my goodness!! Amazing article TwoCrows! I have a hen who has a slow crop resulting from internal laying issues. My vet prescribed Reglan to get her crop moving but unfortunately it does not seem to be helping so this afternoon I will try your remedies. Thank you!!
