I have a hen who will walk around her run very slowly and not stick with her flock. I have felt her crop and it is very hard maybe impacted. I plan on using olive oil and massaging the crop as well as isolating her without food. Should I give her grit or not, also could an Epsom salt bath help...

I have a hen that has a large mass of hay in her crop. Massaging doesn’t break it down because it’s hay. She has been off food and only has grit and water in her cage. But nothing seems to be helping. I can get the impaction to go down but she brings it right back into her crop. She’s making the...

...on a few of them, there seems to be a semi hard ball on their necks. Pretty small especially in comparison to some of the pictures of impacted crop that I've seen. Late last night they seemed to go flatter but this morning, small balls back on their necks. I've withheld food and no change...

My Wyandotte hen has a impacted crop I can tell, and I would really appreciate any type of help in what to do to help her and prevent her from dying since I’ve had this problem previously and lost a hen.

My hens crop (I believe) has been impacted for 2 days. Now after treating her, and massaging her it has become soft. The crop seems to feel the proper way, but it is extremely full even after a night of fasting. I do not believe she has sour crop because her breath smells fine but I am unsure...
