The 4th set of pics are similar to what I saw. Thanks for this link!

Thanks for responding No neither girl has had any respiratory issues. I have been looking and have not found anything that sounds like what I saw. Poor chickie

My two girls are 4 years old and last week my ameraucana laid a soft shelled egg on my patio chair that had “stuff” hanging out of it. I carefully took the egg in to take it apart. The Shell was soft and inside the shell was a clear fluid. The next layer was a membrane that surrounded this thing...

Update: After a week and a half of oil and crop massages, my Sally finally got out what caused her impacted crop. I am not sure how this got through her, but it was underneath her this morning. The long poop was rolled tight and fairly hard to break up. My lesson has been learned.. no more hay...

Thanks! I found it and will try to give her one tomorrow:)

Thanks!! I hope so too!!

What are acidophilus tabs? Where would I find them?

It looks like we are on the right track! Lots of coconut oil, crop massage and some warm baths. I put Sally in a large dog crate for the approx three hours from leaving after lunch until I returned with just water and a mix of crumbles, coconut oil (mostly in the solid form) and a few mealy...

I will have to try that too!! My other girl will definitely be eating that as well since she has always been the piggy one. Would love to see lots of poop in their area as long as little Sally contributes!! Thanks chickens really!

Will do

Thanks for clarifying azygous! I have since raked up all the hay and gotten rid of it. She did like digging to the bottom for the tiny pieces of alfalfa leaves. The weather also got cold about the same time..so maybe she drank less idk. Hoping the coconut oil will help.

Any way to help unobstruct it?

She is hanging in there. Loves her baths... I think they make her feel the best as she stays in them willingly.

Her crop isn’t totally full...there is a mass lower down near the bottom of her chest this morning that I massaged.. above it there is a round lump about halfway up the front feels like a bone.. There isn’t a lot of swelling between her legs that I can feel..and no swelling at the vent area...

No access to berries but she did have a flake of Timothy & alfalfa for a bit. Would there be any other signs to look for if it were cancer?

My two girls both finished their molt and one has laid about 5 eggs so far. The other is the one I am worried about. She hasn’t been pooping much and is not really eating. I have given her baths the past couple of days thinking she might have an egg stuck. After blow drying I have used a q-tip...
