Thank you for your helpful guidance. Hoping this works.

Once I am able to gather her into my arms, she is pretty easy to administer to. She is the most easy going, sweetest chicken and very trusting. I read in the "chicken health handbook" that a teaspoon of epsom salt to two tablespoons of warm water, two to three times a day via syringe is a...

I am so sorry to learn that you are going through something similar. I hope your girl recovers. I am up for trying the epsom salt treatment. However is there a way I can do this without using a tube kit? Would administering the epsom solution via a syringe into her beak suffice? I only ask...

Hello again. My girl doesn't seem to be getting any better. She seems more lethargic today than ever. I increased her dosage but I fear the yeast meds just aren't working. She is still foraging and drinking water but her movements are significantly slower. I feel as though I'm at a loss and am...

Again, thank you so much. I started her on the calcium today along with a little yogurt, as well as the continued yeast treatment.

May I ask when I should start her on the calcium tablets? I wanted to wait and make sure her sour crop issue is under control before introducing another foreign thing into her body...

Thank you. I absolutely will.

I just wanted to follow up that I've been treating her with over the counter 2% yeast meds per your recommendation twice a day for three days now. While her crop always looks a little better in the morning, it starts to swell up again and is squishy like a water balloon towards midday. She is...

Absolutely! She seems to be improving with each day. So thankful for this forum/resource. I believe it has helped save my girl's life.

Just a little update, I decided to get her the yeast meds after all and gave her her first dose about 2 hours ago. She seems to be doing well!

Thank you both again so much. She seems much better this morning. She is behaving normally and her crop appears to be less swollen. She does have a slight sour smell coming from her mouth. Should I put her on yeast meds even though she appears to be better? I will also be starting her on the...

Thank you so much to the both of you. This thread has been extremely helpful and beneficial. I will adhere to the advice of you seasoned chicken owners and hopefully become as learned and helpful to newcomers as you were to me. My girl is not extremely sick but she was acting awfully unusual...

Thank you. I truly appreciate it!

Thank you. I really appreciate your helpful knowledge. I let her out of the crate and she seems to have more energy and she is eating her pellet food. I am hoping this is a good sign. As for her egg issue, I will definitely get some calcium citrate. Thank you so much for the attached article...

I've been reading everywhere that you are supposed to isolate chickens and withhold food for sour crop. Right now she is still in her dog crate, with apple cider vinegar/garlic water available. Should I just go ahead and let her out? She also has been laying soft, broken eggs.

Hello. I have a chicken who very recently developed sour crop. I need to isolate her from the rest of the flock but am wondering what is the best way to do this? We have a dog crate placed towards the back of the yard that she is in right now, but I fear she doesn't have enough space and that...
