Edit: if you've got a free range flock, over 2 years old,, with with same chickens.. please tell me if you have these issues and if not, what you do. While advice from people is great, it's not always helpful if advice comes from someone who has new chickens or doesn't free range.

Is Smz 454 the same as Bactrim?
Is smz 454 good for ascites or peritonitis?
Hen diagnosed with peritonitis but lays daily. She has ascites.
If 454 is good for ascites what is the dosing using a nip spoon and needless syringe? Do not want to isolate or dose entire flock.
Thank you

So I have baby chicks going into their 3rd week. This one baby chick had what I thought was an impacted crop. It was about the size of a peach pit, pretty large. We gave her some olive oil, separated her without food and it went down. Put her back in with the other girls and it's back...
I am a new chicken mom. Yes, I actually call myself a chicken mom, lol. My first flock of 11 rhode island reds have been doing well. I had one issue turn up with an impacted crop these past 2 days and can report, thanks to wonderful posters, that after giving a few drops of oil and some crop...
