    Hi from Dundee, UK. Sharing impacted crop treatment.

    Hi all, having spent nearly a year trawling the net and this site for useful chicken advice, I finally have something to add myself! My chicken had an impacted crop with the 'putty-like' consistency sometimes reported. I had her booked for surgery but had a eureka moment that cured it...
