    It went down a lot but not completely this morning. Should I still feed her a small amount or continue to wait?

    Bullying after losing a member of the flock

    I'm thinking of keep her separate during the times when they would be together in the enclosed run but still have them all out together range? I wonder if that would help reset things after a couple of days?

    I'm afraid I may have let her eat too much tonight. Her crop is moderately full after her bedtime meal. Is that bad? Do I need to keep her crop fullness at a minimum? Surgery was two days ago.

    Dosage of Acidified Copper Sulfate

    If this were to work, how quickly would you expect to see a reduction in the size of a hard playdough-like crop? Also, is it ok to tube feed the mixture into her crop to ensure she's getting it? @Wyorp Rock @azygous
