    Sour crop

    On the 4th day of administering Minconazole 2% nitrate, Gertrude the chicken passed away this morning. I came out to find her very very weak and then died by seizure a few minutes later. The crop had been emptied like normal and she had access to food and water.

    Sour crop

    I believe my chicken is suffering from sour crop. She is acting pretty lethargic and has a full liquidy crop. When I massage it in the direction of her vent she throws up foul smelling liquid. What can I do to help her?

    Is my chicken being bullied, sick, or just broody?

    I have a jersey giant hen that has been broody for a couple weeks (I have even dunked her in water and she won't quit being broody, now I'm just blocking off the coop) and around the same time she has lost a lot feathers. She acts fine around the other hens and I never see her get picked on...

    Today I came across my first shell-less egg. I make sure to have oyster shell in the run but they seem to never eat it. How do I get them to eat it? Maybe I should tell them no treats until they finish their oyster shell...

    Help my chicken might be eggbound

    Ok. Thank you so much for the help. I will start doing this tomorrow. My hen has been very gentle to me, but man she has been mean to my other flock members in her time of broodiness. Is it normal for broody hens to pluck out their own feathers?
