    Oral Tablet Nystatin for Hen with Sour Crop

    Thank you @Eggcessive. I have purchased it previously online but I was hoping to get her started on something asap and not wait. I might start her on that while also co-treating her with miconazole- do you feel there is any contraindication in a dual treatment like that? In the meantime, I will...

    Oral Tablet Nystatin for Hen with Sour Crop

    Hi all! It’s been a while since I’ve posted here and surprisingly it was about sour crop for one of my very sick hens. Well today I noticed one of my girls has sour crop. I know all the ways I can treat it but I was curious- we have a Nystatin medication here that’s 500,000 per tablet unit...

    EYP and draining

    Hi all! I continue to have trouble with my Plymouth Blue Rocks. These poor girls have their trouble. I’ve dealt with EYP already with the first one I had lost. She was emaciated but definitely full of fluid and was able to drain pretty consistently until it was time to let her go. I have...

    Special sour crop situation

    I thought I’d take a moment to update this: This girl is still with us. Lives in the barn right now. Has her good days and bad and having trouble trying to wrap my head around what could impact her on those bad days. When I say bad days this is in reference to going out to see her in the...

    Emaciation causing cropstasis

    I’ve been working hard to try to support my hen post crop impaction and sour crop. I’ve had some great guidance from this forum but I wanted to see if anyone else has ever made a connection between continued crop stasis due to emaciation? This girl is critical in regard to her concave breast and...

    Special sour crop situation

    It really is very taxing. I’ve found myself in a lot of supportive situations in my 3 years of being a chicken tender. When things are good- they’re good but when they’re bad- oh the stress. I appreciate you always coming in to answer my questions @azygous . I ask so I can better analyze the...

    Special sour crop situation

    Thought I would pop back through with an update: She’s still with us. Originally while treating the sour crop problem I had her in a crate in the coop with her family. However, she seemed to do better without the crate. Seemed more open to eating as we made progress in resolving the sour crop...

    Special sour crop situation

    As always- thank you @azygous! It’s feeling grim. Appreciate the extra insight. She blew out a dark black wet stool as I was walking in his morning. Upon inspection of the vent to re-evaluate the stuck poop- there was some bright red blood. So I’m not so sure we have a chance. I’m going to go...

    Special sour crop situation

    Thank you @azygous. Starting to think maybe she’s impacted by constipation. A week of calcium isn’t making a difference. She’s spent this whole week in an egg bound stance with no improvement. Minimally eating. Hit or miss on how long she remains interested in food. Lost a gross amount of...

    Special sour crop situation

    Thought I’d update: Still no egg being laid based on how she was acting Wed/Thurs. Abdomen still firm. Hasn’t stood in the nest box since Thursday. Gave calcium citrate with D3 three times a day Tues/Wed. Then morning and night Thursday/Friday and continuing. I’m starting to wonder if there is...

    Special sour crop situation

    Hi @azygous - so I think we may be making grounds on the sour crop finally. The squishy bubble was flat yesterday morning and even went to nibble on her feed for the first time in a week. By end of the day she was in the nest box trying to do something. Standing most of the evening seeming...

    Very good. Thank you for the quick response. All I needed to hear so I know I’m doing everything for the best chances for her and not doing more than necessary. Appreciate you.

    Special sour crop situation

    Hi @azygous ! Thank you again for all of your suggestions. I did pick up the calcium citrate this morning and dosed them both with the Baytril, calcium/D3 and monistat cream. My very troubled girl still had a very fluid filled crop this morning which would indicate that the reproductive issue...

    Special sour crop situation

    Thank you! The only reason I considered diluting was because trying to get her to eat the broken up 1/3 suppository was a mess because she’d spit it out. I’ve since moved to .25 cc of the cream that comes with the Monistat once I found that that was a suitable option. Overwhelming to think about...

    Special sour crop situation

    You’re the best @azygous 😭 She would strain with the soft shell and eventually would break after straining. So that is where I would help. When I thought she was egg bound I’d check for an egg but not feel anything. I’m desperate. Once I had to move them all off layer feed because of the...

    Special sour crop situation

    Thank you to all contributors that give so much to this forum. It’s so helpful for those of us trying to help our little chicken farms. I have a girl that definitely had an impaction about a month ago. Got that cleared. She seemed like she bounced back but I wasn’t certain if she had sour crop...

    Progressive egglaying abnornalities

    Hi everyone! First time poster! This was my first winter with my flock. Six Plymouth blue rocks(one is a rooster) and two buff orpingtons. They laid regularly and production wasn’t super impacted and got 3-5 eggs daily. Late winter I started to notice that one of the girls was consistently...
