    Sour Crop treatment options (Aus)

    One of my hens has sour crop! She's got a huge, soft squishy crop, and sour smell from her mouth. This has just showed up today. She is otherwise very alert, hasn't yet lost weight and is still laying. At first I did induce vomiting with her, but stopped because I felt uncomfortable with the...

    🥺 Finally no more Lurking!

    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I’m new to chickens, but had ducks when I was younger. I’ve always wanted chickens and finally got them this year when my family wanted to incubate eggs from an honesty box (they were intended for eating but when I pointed out that...
