Thanks for the article and reply, I'll try the method in the article. Nothing's leaking out of her beak anymore so I'll probably skip the vomiting part. Also, I'm glad the treatment worked for both of your hens!
Thanks alot for your reply! She's better now and is hanging out with her friends. I'm kind of curious about where you can buy or how can you make electrolytes? I isolated her without food for a while but then her crop didn't empty so I gave her crushed pellets with yogurt. I haven't checked if...
I have a 6-month-old black astralorp chicken that I suspected had sour crop. I tried not feeding her for 20 hours but her crop is still there. I then tried feeding yogurt mixed with crushed pellets for a few days. Her crop still didn't empty. Then, I bought 4% Miconazole Nitrate. I vomited her...
I suspect my black astralorp has sour crop since the crop doesn't fully empty in the morning and is squishy. She also has some gurgling sounds coming from her body and she vomits clear liquid especially when I massage her crop. However, there is no smell coming from her beak. She also lays eggs...
Recently, she has eaten layer feed and I also offered a bit of spinach for today. Yesterday, I gave her layer feed, cantaloupe, and radish/turnip leaves. Yes she is free ranged from 9am-7pm
This morning, I went to check her crop and I felt a hard (but also kind of squishy) crop that was about the size of a golf ball. Her crop this morning was smaller than last night's so I think her crop emptied around half of the food. She's still running around and eating. I also put my nose...
Okay, thanks for the advice and article! I still don't know if she has a sour crop or impacted crop so I'll go remove her food and see how her crop is tomorrow.
None of us moved! I usually sell the chickens if they still sing during the summer when it's hot (since the neighbors have their windows open) but luckily this flock doesn't sing!
Hello! I am a chicken mom from California! I have raised chickens with my family for a few years already. My first flock was a yellow chicken with yellow feet and a white tail (I still don't know what breed she is), a new hampire chicken, and a rhode island red bully! I have had about 2 flocks...
I have a black astralorp that started laying about a month ago. Her size compared to her friends is a bit smaller. About 2 months ago, she started making coughing or sneezing noises (sounds like a loud 'bok'). Recently, she started swinging her head from side to side and makes weird movements...
