One of my girls had an impacted crop a couple months ago. My dh and i thought the only solution was to open her crop and remove the blockage. We tried numerous other things including making her vomit. After the surgery the crop did go down but didn't stay that way for more than a couple days...
It doesn't seem to be intestines or organs. Maybe the next layer of muscle or skin? I can't push it back in. Idk what to do! there are no avian vets around here
Ok so I posted last week about my silver laced wyandotte having flystrike. We got the maggot problem under control but she was left with this mass sticking out of the skin that ruptured. It has dried out and the skin around is healing back so we can't push it inside her anymore. She is back to...
This is Wynonna last night. We removed all the maggots. Cleaned the wound and applied blue kite. She is resting in a huge dog cage in our basement to heal. She's eating and drinking well and pooping. The problem now is the mass that broke through the skin that is sticking out. It has hardened a...
Thank you so much. I just ordered ivermectin so that should be coming in a couple of days. I gave her 2 saline baths and got a lot of them off her. Letting her take a break now. She is locked on my deck for now but I will be bringing her in the basement tonight. I will try to take a picture...

Only one of my polish chicken has these little tan colored mites all on her skin. We have dusted her with DE 2 weeks in a row and have dusted the run and where they lay. She doesn't take regular dirt baths like the rest of my girls. I have been checking the other girls and no one else seems to...
Yeah they have always had pellet food and I have had no problem with them eating it. She is 4 years old and we've had her since she was 6 months. I think I am also gonna try to grind up some pellets in my magic bullet for her and see if she will like the crumbles of it better. Thanks for the tip.
Last Friday my husband went to pet my white chicky and noticed that she was down to skin and bones. We had noticed her acting funny the week prior but she was walking around with the girls and pecking like she always does in my backyard. We realized she's not eating the pellet food. Everyone...
