    Very large watery crop

    This 4 month old hen has a very large crop which seems to be full of water or mucous. It’s been this way since birth we believe. What could this be and possible treatments?

    Expanded Run Build

    I had a plumber tell me to stuff the hole with a bit of Brillo to help deter critters before foaming a hole. I’ve had squirrels chew right through regular spray foam.

    Belt Hatchery Cornish Cross

    I used 1 1/4” pvc with great results. I didn’t use a cap on the ends of the uprights but I do recommend you do. The sharp pvc can cut into some of the fat which isn’t ideal.
