    Monistat for Sour Crop?

    Hi again - my hen still has sour or impacted crop. She still eats And drinks but constantly or almost constantly twists her neck around. I got some copper sulfate — my question is if I put this in the water is it ok for my other 5 healthy hens to drink it too?

    Monistat for Sour Crop?

    It seems to have gone down somewhat but not all the way - it feels squishy and she is vomiting. I didnt know that about the garlic so I will stop. Do you think adding molasses to the water would be useful? is that ok for my other 5 hens to drink too?

    Monistat for Sour Crop?

    My hen Sweetie has sour crop. I have tried giving yogurt (unpasteur), garlic, ACV, and causing her to vomit. She is not getting any better - this mroning I actually saw her vomit just while scratching around so maybe even worse. I have to go for a work trip for 1 week so I need to help her asap...

    Hen making weird head movements

    Hmm, well an old neighbor who has had chickens for 40 years recommended it so...And she (my hen) is totally fine, even a little better. I cant find a vet to see her so I need to manage it myself.

    Hen making weird head movements

    Sweetie definitely has sour crop but I dont know if it is impacted as well. I tipped her upside down yesterday and htis morning and she did vomit a little bit of noxious fluid. Her crop did seem a little smaller today but she is almost constantly doing the head motion and is only eating a...

    Hen making weird head movements

    Appreciate the tips. I have only had hens for 3 years and this the first medical issues to pop up. I am especially worried as I need to go on a work trip week after next for the whole week and my husband cant really do what I am doing and can barely tell the birds apart. :)

    Hen making weird head movements

    I do give the birds grit. She was up in the roost but so far I havent seen an egg from her but I am not totally sure (I have 6 hens). I gave her some lumps of coconut oil which she gobbled up. Interesting about the hen that had an enlarged crop for years. I do feel that sweetie is a little off...

    Hen making weird head movements

    I am pretty sure that she does have some kind of crop issues because it was full before she ate this morning. I am trying to massage it but doesnt seem to help. But at least for the moment she's continuing to eat/drink/furiously kick leaves looking for worms so I will let her be. Hopefully it...

    Hen making weird head movements

    Hi all - this morning I think sweetie’s crop was somewhat full. I tried to massage it - it didn’t seem particularly hard or squishy. She is also making those head twists occasionally. But she’s also still eating and drinking and chortling away per usual. Should I do more? Or just see if it...

    Humane euthenasia old hen: place in warm, closed box near flock, & let it pass naturally??? (e.g. from dehydration)

    I dont have an answer for you but dehydration would absolutely be painful, make no mistake. She would suffer dying that way. If you know someone with an ax - I am being serious - that would be best. Something quick and definite.

    Hen making weird head movements

    Hi, my little austro Sweetie has been making a weird head movement - like twisting it and elongating her neck? Sort of like how a sassy woman would shake her head while telling someone off if that makes sense. She is eating/drinking ok and I feel like I have seen her do this before but not over...

    Is my bird sick?

    Oh really? How would I know if she has worms? Her feathers are still very shiny and thick and her wattle is red, her eyes clear, and her poo seems normal. I give them garlic infused water a couple time a week and ACV. But I do not deworm them, I have heard it is rough on birds.

    Is my bird sick?

    Is my bird sick?

    Thank you for the advice, glad you think its just the molt. I had no idea you could give vitamins to hens so I will do that - as I take B myself! Their feed is only 16% protein so I was thinking I should switch until theyre through their molt to 20%, maybe that would help.
