hi guys, so Cookie, the hen I was posting about in the summertime, ended up making a complete recovery after those threads - after a week of isolation, treatment for impacted crop, daily baths, and pellet/egg mash, she brightened up and acted normal and healthy, and I put her back w the others...
Soooo it's been a week since these symptoms have started and a few days since I discovered that this was actually a crop issue. Here's my old thread for reference. Summary: Cookie, a 3 year old Tractor Supply Easter Egger has been lethargic, pale combed, having diarrhea and a messy bum, losing...

I only have simple baseline knowledge of genetics so I don't understand the big words and I'm also getting a lot of mixed info.
This is what I...
Quick backstory. We got 2 new chicks last week and unfortunately we lost one, when my family went back to buy another (while I was in class) the farmer apparently "threw in an extra one for free". Already knew it'd likely be a rooster when I heard that, but I also have no idea what the breed is...
Hi BYC. I don't use forums often so I apologize in advance if I'm doing anything wrong.
SBC ("scared black chicken" - name courtesy of my cousin) is a black sex link hen, ~6yrs old, weight unknown but she currently feels lighter than she usually is. She has had a pendulous crop since we got her...
