Scoopsmom, Have you tried the crop tonic on your hen? Because she had such a lengthy treatment on copper sulfate, I would try using a natural treatment that is effective against the yeasts that cause sour crop. The oregano oil and coconut oil are anti-fungal and the yogurt will introduce...

Oh-h-h...what a precious white hen! Well, from what I have read, she may always have issues with her crop, or, not. Just give her crop a gentle little massage each evening, and check it each morning, to see if it is emptying. Do this for a few days each week, till you get an idea of what is...
