    Chicken appetite low after crop surgery

    Did crop surgery on my 5mo old buff. She seemed pretty good immediately after, ate some egg yesterday. Today, (two days later) she will really only eat apple sauce. Is it abnormal for her to not be too interested in eating? I imagine she could be sore. I have offered watered down food, egg...

    Post-crop surgery care

    I did at home crop surgery on my girl. She’s definitely malnourished after a week of crop struggles and fluctuating appetite. How soon can I give her food and water?? I worry she is very weak and may not hang on if dehydrated and needing food too long

    chicken with crop issues - next steps

    I've been posting on here for about a week now. My 5-month-old buff initially had what I believe was an impacted crop. The vet gave us a medication to assist with motility, gave the last dose last night. I believe it turned sour. It feels balloon-like and full of air, when I massage it makes...

    Impacted crop, sour crop, now feels inflated with air?

    Is this normal for a sour crop to feel filled with air? It was impacted before, then it became sour, now I can barely even feel food in it, it just feels filled with air like a partially blown up balloon. I have tried EVERYTHING aside from monistat so I was going to try that now. Just wanting to...

    Impacted crop turned sour

    I noticed my chicken had an impacted crop on Friday. I thought we were about past it earlier, the doctor gave us Cisapride to assist with crop motility. But now, I think she has sour crop. It’s like a balloon filled with air. I’m so worried because she hasn’t had the ability to eat much of...

    Impacted crop- strange green, foul smelling poop

    I posted before about my girl with an impacted crop. I’ve gotten her moving some and she’s pooped, but it’s all very dark greenish and smells horrible. Not like a cecal poop or ammonia, like gasoline like? There is a chemical quality to it. Very strong. Anyone know what this smell is or had...

    Impacted crop won’t clear after 48 hours

    I noticed my chicken’s crop hadn’t cleared 48 hours ago. She is a 6mo old buff. Since then, I have been massaging it frequently with coconut and olive oil, I tube fed 15ml water twice, I gave 200ml docusate sodium, I’ve tried everything I’ve seen that could be a solution. I thought it could be...

    SOS balance issues in chicken vaxed for Mareks

    My favorite chicken is showing balance issue, head shaking, and keeps trying to preen but doesn’t seem to have the coordination to. Please watch to the end of the video to see that. The back of her comb is a little blue and her crop is full- which is odd for her earlier in the day. She doesn’t...

    Lethargic bird, sudden onset

    One of our most active Forager’s, top of the pecking order hands started laying down a lot today appearing on interested in eating and somewhat of a squishy abdomen. I’m not sure if I’m just now noticing this change in abdomen or if this is what it always feels like. Not overly squishy but just...

    Pullets/cockerel afraid of hens, not eating

    I added 5 pullets and a cockerel to my flock of 5 hens over a month ago, and recently had to tube feed one of the pullets because she became lethargic and I realized she wasn’t eating. Upon watching them, none of them eat nearly enough, and it appears to be that they’re afraid of the hens. There...

    Chicken seems fine except not eating or drinking?

    We noticed one of our young chickens (about 4 months) didn’t come out of the coop this morning and when I looked in, she was just standing in there on the roost. I got her out and then she continued to just kind of stand on a roost and won’t eat or drink anything. She doesn’t seem to have any...

    Cockerel and pullet bonded pair?

    I have two 7 week old EEs, one pullet and one cockerel. Obviously, they were in the brooder together, but they are absolutely inseparable. Neither goes anywhere without the other and they rarely interact with the older birds (some 10 week olds and some 1 year olds). My question is, how normal is...

    Two mystery chooks

    Alrighty, I’ve got two babes here, the speckled Americana I’m really thinking is a roo based on leg size and redness of comb (~7wks old) The buff (~9-10wks old) had some troubles with tail feathers growing in that were still working on. But it’s face is MUCH more red than the other buff, whose...

    Pullet feather problems - can I help?

    I have two month old pullets, all have been fully feathered for several weeks. All except for this one. We just got through treating a nasty scab on her back from her picking at herself (hence the purple stain, thanks Blu-Kote). Now her feathers are finally coming in there, but they look…...
