    Impacted/sour crop?

    Hello! My sweet chicken Cholula (Cinnamon Queen, 2 years old) has what I suspect to be an impacted crop. It's been about 4 days since it emptied. I brought her to a vet who did a lavage and crop massage but the blockage hasn't gone down. She's home now. She is pooping. Her crop feels squishy but...

Was told that #2 and #3 were both pullets and I'm pretty sure they're EE (was told Ameraucana but now know that can't be right!!). I think they're both ladies. I haven't seen EE coloring like lovely...

    Grit sizes

    Looking for advice about grit sizes! Our 8 week old ladies have just gone outside and are lovin life. Our local feed store is put of grower size grit, however, and the bag I ordered on amazon won't arrive for a week. Is the pictured size too big for my girls? It was all they had locally.
