    Please help I think my hen is going to die! Sour crop perhaps?

    Turns out it was reproductive cancer, with a yeast infection as well. We're letting her go tonight. I'm just glad to know that there's nothing else I could've done, and that she's not suffering anymore! It's very sad, but she'll be in a lot less pain. RIP Meatball!

    Please help I think my hen is going to die! Sour crop perhaps?

    Are there ANY other remedies? I checked on her today and she's still eating and drinking! In no way do I believe that she's healed, I just want her to get the grass up (or whatever is causing the blockage) without spending so much, and I think she's got enough strength to at least TRY some...

    Please help I think my hen is going to die! Sour crop perhaps?

    I have a 3 year old RIR hen who has always been super healthy! About a week ago she began acting sluggish, had green diarreah, she started moving her neck all weirdly, and her comb began turning blue-ish. About three days ago I gave her some antibiotics in her water. After reading more about...
