    PLEASE GIVE ADVICE on an impacted crop turned squishy- possible lower obstruction

    She was free-range and had easy access to a gravel driveway. Yikes! Poor Violet

    How to bandage a pecked neck without the chick freaking out?

    Update: she's doing better! Her growth is a bit less than that of her siblings but that's excusable. No new feathers yet, I understand it can be awhile especially if she's too set back to regrow them before first molt. That's a long ways away though so we'll just see. I've rejoined her to her...

    Grrrrhhh that's right! I meant to say she fills up after eating and stays full even into the next morning... I'm too dumb for this lol

    PLEASE GIVE ADVICE on an impacted crop turned squishy- possible lower obstruction

    I have forgotten to update... Still don't have a picture 😂 she's doing much better though, after I tried a kind of massage that someone suggested, trying to separate the lump and encourage manageable chunks to be moved into the next part of her digestive pipes. She fills up again with each meal...

    PLEASE GIVE ADVICE on an impacted crop turned squishy- possible lower obstruction

    Thank you, I will see what she's looking like in the morning. I have read this article but I don't think it's quite either of these issues. Her breath very soured yet, somehow, unless I just can't smell it. I'm aware of the risks of pouring it out of her. I don't want it to get any bigger though.

    PLEASE GIVE ADVICE on an impacted crop turned squishy- possible lower obstruction

    Update of tonight: I refilled her water bowl this afternoon and have tried to massage it several times after all that oil I gave earlier. Came back after dinner and her water bowl is completely empty. Her crop feels like a water balloon and it's bigger than one and fills my hand when I hold it...

    No worries! She's pooping normally today. Her crop isn't going down much and seems to be full of the watery feed soup I've been giving her. So far the massages aren't reducing it.

    Good! I don't think she would have swallowed an egg?

    PLEASE GIVE ADVICE on an impacted crop turned squishy- possible lower obstruction

    Hi y'all, yet another thread from me in the injury department. I just received this girl the other day since her previous owner is elderly and wanted her to go to someone who could give her the necessary attention and treatment. She's had a pendulous and stuffed crop since December. (!!!) I've...

    Post crop surgery concerns

    How did this resolve? I hope she is okay. I've been reading up a lot on post-op crop sluggishness and I have yet to see a case where there was a follow up post.

    How to bandage a pecked neck without the chick freaking out?

    Agh I can't believe I didn't think of taping her nails. I tried it and it is an improvement! @Lacy Duckwing this is the situation.

    How to bandage a pecked neck without the chick freaking out?

    My poor 4 week old chick has a totally bare neck with a big stripe of skin missing. She really needs to let it heal but I'm worried that she's scratching herself with her foot, even if I isolate her from the others. So naturally I try to bandage it... And drama ensues. She flails about like mad...

    Cracked Egg

    I have an egg in lockdown right now that I dropped at about day 10. Like you, I couldn't keep my grubby hands off of them. I dripped candle wax on the cracks, which were also extensive, and let her set. I also worried about the heat, but I dripped some on my hand too accidentally and it didn't...

    On a scale of stupidity... How stupid is putting extra eggs in an incubator?

    This is such a good idea why didn't I think of that before! 🤑🤑🤑🤑

    On a scale of stupidity... How stupid is putting extra eggs in an incubator?

    Belated update: I'm quite glad I put eggstra in! After candling I'm down to just twenty-one, with one egg on top. Less than stellar fertility, but I'll take it lol. I'm back to auto turning, and I wrapped the one on top with a paper towel scarf to protect him from the knocking. So far so good...
