    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    I am in the same boat. I lost one recently to crop stasis. She had it the last 2 times with her molt. She was 5. Now I have another girl who is 3 who had it in September and again now. It resolved quickly with antibiotics, then came back a couple days later.

    Blind hen companion?

    I have had a few instances where I had to take a hen completely out and treat her for a sickness. I find it puzzling that sometimes they allow a gal to rejoin peacefully, but other times, with other hens there is fighting. My kids tell me that reintegration a low ranking chicken is easier...

    Impacted and/or Sour crop treatment

    Was the vet an avian vet? I had a similar situation with my hen. Crop stasis. She lingered for so long, I felt so terrible for her. She wanted to live, but she didn't make it and my rehabber friend could not find anything wrong on necropsy.

    Sour crop question…is it time to euthanize?

    I currently have a 5 yo Australorp hen likely internal laying. Her bottom is getting large and her droppings are getting small. She has had fly strike 3 times with the last being the worst, because she cannot groom herself in the back. My husband says just let her live her live, but I feel I...

    My vet gases them, until they are unconscious, then she sticks the heart.

    Sour Crop Not Resolving, crop not emptying... Crop Blockage? Treatment?

    @tori729 Who was your vet who performed this? I lost a hen to crop stasis (she developed every single molt) and when the vet did a basic necropsy, she couldn't find anything abnormal.

    Sour crop question…is it time to euthanize?

    I asked my rehabber friend to take her, as her crop was not moving and she was getting dehydrated. One morning, she found her dead. She thinks she aspirated. I asked my friend to take her because she would be able to euthanize her, but since my hen still looked interested in eating she kept...

    Impacted and/or Sour crop treatment

    My vet told me I have to give nystatin 4x day! Fragile is an understatement. Shortly after that, I found another favorite dead in the coop. I had even dewormed earlier! That was the first hen I have ever found dead (besides the 12 that were killed by coyotes -- my little boy found them all...

    Sour crop question…is it time to euthanize?

    @Apags18 I just want to let you know I wrestled with that question with my hen (a favorite) with sour crop. The first time she had crop stasis was when she was molting. We paid over $1000 for crop surgery and she was placed on Bactrim/meloxicam. She recovered, but I had to put over 2 months...

    Impacted and/or Sour crop treatment

    What happened to your hen? I had a hen like this and her GI system would completely shut down with each molt. The second time, she didn't make it and when my friend who does rehab did a basic necropsy, she could not find anything unusual except for a lot of fat. Her fecal did show capillaria...

    Treatment for worms and coccidosis

    Thank you! Forgot not to look for Valbazen, rather "Albendazole." I am considering using a pill though, like Bastonero plus.

    Safeguard Aquasol Dewormer for Capillaria Worms?

    Just curious about Aquasol vs. Safeguard liquid goat wormer. Some people say that chickens cannot absorb the safeguard as well, since it is in a suspension, thus the higher dose. Valbazen as the liquid is on backorder indefinitely, unless pills can work/
