Hi all, I have a 8 week old olive egger who I think has either sour or an impactedcrop. It is very full and squishy but there is no smell coming out of her mouth. Is it possible for her to have sour crop without any smell? What’s the best method to treat her? I noticed her crop went down a...
Hello friends. We’ve never had an impactedcrop before. This is a 3yo hen who we love, and she started looking off a few days ago.
When I picked her up yesterday morning she was very light and her crop was super full. I read up on impactedcrop and assumed that was it.
I’ve given two rounds...
Hi Guys
I'm looking for advice what I can do to help this little peachicks. I suspect it might eat some straw and be impacted. I can't see anything down his throat, his crop seems to be empty. I syringe feed it cooked yolk watered down every couple of hours and gently massaging crop and belly...
I posted on here earlier about a 2 week old chick who hasn't grown since I got her and is not doing so well and I think it might be an impactedcrop, her crop is tiny and very hard, she's eating a little and drinking and pooping normally but is very sickly looking, sometimes crying, always...
Pretty sure my Olive Egger hen has an impactedcrop. Hard with the feel of grain at bottom. Trying to treat her with a statin and she ate the first three doses mixed with coconut oil first time, coconut oil and grubs 2nd and 3rd. Today she is onto us and won't eat it. Some of the messages...
Hello, my two-year-old chicken has an impactedcrop that I noticed 5 days ago. On day 2, I isolated her & started massaging her crop 3 times a day. I have given her various doses of Epsom salt in water, tomato juice, plain yogurt, scrambled eggs with lots of olive oil, and water with probiotics...
I have a 4 week old pullet that has what I assume is impactedcrop. She had it a few days ago, I gave her a mixture with water, oil, acv and vitamins and massaged the crop until it drained. The next day she was fine. It’s been a few days since and she has the same issue again. Her only other...
Good afternoon everyone!,
About 2 months ago we encountered a weasel attack leaving one of my hens Dorothy disabled. (she has a permanent bend in her neck and mobility issues) she has been living on her own and thriving. Lately I've noticed her crop is quite full and not emptying. I gave her oil...
My hen had impactedcrop, what felt to be a small amount of wadded grass in there. I gave her some coconut oil and electrolytes and kept massaging it and it went down significantly. This morning only a tiny amount remained and most food and water that I’ve been giving her is not sitting in her...
I have a hen that seems to have an impactedcrop. She’s completely lethargic, eyes closed. I’ve massaged her crop sever times today but there’s no way she’s taking any oil to help. She seems to far gone to hold upside down. Should I just put her down or is there anything that can be done?
Hello everyone, I have a 3 year old bantam who seems to have a impactedcrop. Yesterday I noticed she wasn't acting like her normal self. She went up to her food bowl but didn't eat. I removed her food and only left her water since I suspected a small impactedcrop. Today I was able to confirm...
Hi everyone. (TLDR; any further aftercare for when an impactedcrop has softened?)
I have a four week old Golden Laced Wyandotte who got completely overtaken in growth by her sibling who is now much larger within a week. She is tiny when they both were identical in size, yesterday and today...
We have a bird that has impactedcrop. We gave her a tsp of mineral oil and massaged her. She expelled most of the bile and was much better. We then gave her an egg mixed with plain Greek yogurt and she’s so much better today. On day two, we ground bird feed into powder and mixed it with a small...
Hi all,
I’ve had chickens for years but this is my first time encountering a crop issue. Noticed my mixed barred rock hen, 2 yrs old, is usually the most active in the bunch. I noticed her staying in the coop two days ago and thought she was broody, but in the afternoon she came out and there...
Hello everyone,
I have a Wyandotte that I have recently helped clear a horribly impactedcrop of a grass blockage. It took 3 days of oil by crop needle followed with 15 minutes of massage to break it down. I was very late to notice and feel horrible because I didn’t think she was going to...
Hello BYC,
I have a 2 week old chickie who I'm certain has an impactedcrop. She consistently has a lump on the right side of her chest area that her 3 other sisters do not. When I message the lump, I can feel the feed within and am able to gently work it into her gizzard. I'm doing this 2 times...
Hello, I have a young roo who I think has sour crop. It’s not impactedcrop because his crop is squishy, and the size of a grapefruit. I found an article here on how to treat it and got the miconazole cream that the poster said to try. It’s been about a week and it hasn’t gotten any better...
