    Making a crop bra for a hen with pendulous crop

    Thank you. I put the crop bra on her last night and the crop was full this morning. I am in Australia and she is on Nilstat which is Nystatin. I massaged the crop and she vomited up a bit of liquid But since I put the bra on the neck movements have got a lot worse.
