Hi, it's been quite some time since I've dewormed them. The last time I dewormed, I used Wazine and I ended up losing a couple hens. No one passed any worms, but right after I dewormed, one was sick/floppy comb and passed. Then a week or so later the same thing happened to a second hen. It's...

Day 7. She's eating, bright, and I think she's started to gain a bit of weight. I'm feeling like treatment has been successful, but will give one more day "just in case" (since she had a molasses drench). I left her with the flock even though it was bitter cold today, because she's just...

Day 6-- the day I've been dreading since her sister deteriorated drastically on day 6 of miconazole. She was bright and perky this morning. Showed interest in breakfast but decided she wasn't sure she liked what was offered. Gave her miconazole, and released-- and she threw up a minute later...

Day 5. Not eating well inside so put her back out. She's active, alert, ate some outside. Didn't want scratch grains at dusk, even though the rest were greedy about it. Since in general she eats better outside, she's staying outside, with miconazole 3x/day. tomorrow morning I'll fix eggs &...

Day 4. She did not eat as well today while she was in. Maybe she eats better with the flock. Once it warmed up a bit, I put her out with the flock. 4 more doses of miconazole. No squishy crop, and the sour smell has faded away. Comb is an odd (too) dark red but her eyes are alert. She's...

Day 3. Hens all had the molasses/epsom drench. Last night Ms Sour Crop was eating enthusiastically, and this morning her crop was empty! AND she ate enthusiastically. Feeling really encouraged. We've settled into a different routine for getting a good glob of miconazole in her pretty...

thank you, will mix it up now, and use it for Ms Sour Crop as well.

Update! Just dosed her with more miconazole. She's looking brighter, comb is perfectly upright, nice and red (it was TOO red earlier and starting to lean). She still wanted no part of meds, but I got a good dose in her (and she's pretty much wearing the equivalent of the other dose)...

A couple of things to clarify. The mold I saw was literally 2-3 weeks ago. I'll still do as you describe, just in case. I will check the mouths on the others. If I don't see anything in their mouths, should I still do the epsom/molasses solution? Ie, is there any downside? Finally...

It's just day 2, so maybe too soon to hope for results. She will definitely have miconazole at least 3x a day. Last night I was re-reading articles as well as some forum threads on sour crop. I got the impression that in some cases, it's secondary to another issue, and that giving the...

My tiny flock seems plagued with sour crop. In January, I lost one (miconazole seemed to be helping then she relapsed on day 6 of treatment). This time it's the other red sex link that I got at the same time. About 2 years old. She was not as interested in food, and lethargic- when I picked...
