    How long to feel better after sour crop recovery?

    Also, just an update on mine: it's now been 17 days since I first treated, and she continues to improve. She's always been at the bottom of the pecking order (though she's generally treated fine by the others) and has always sort of done her own thing. I'm starting to think the behavior...
