Update 2: she's continuing to do well, her crop gets a bit fuller than the other chicks and feels a bit odd, (kind of stretched out, almost?) but I imagine that probably has something to do with how massive it got. It fully empties now and there are no more sour crop symptoms. I finish the...

good news so far! the crop has finally gone down all the way. i’ve been intermittently fasting her by placing her in the corralled section, and giving her a little pearl of the miconazole cream twice a day. i haven’t been able to go to the grocery store for mineral and coconut oil yet but i’m...

last night i isolated her, i think her crop went down a little, but it’s hard to tell. i thought about doing it for longer but she looked kind of stressed and tired when i removed her.

under the lamp it’s in the mid to low 90s. they spend about equal time in the warm and cool parts when they’re awake. i’m planning to sequester a small part of the brooder in the mid-zone for her tonight. i thought about keeping her outside the brooder but she gets upset and starts crying...

i was actually hesitant to think it was a problem because i’m often paranoid about crops. i also thought it would be odd for a chick so young to have something like sour crop, but the texture is very noticeably different from normal, i can hear gurgling when she moves a lot, it never goes down...

thank you! so sorry to hear about your old girl :( i massaged it a wee bit the first day but stopped after that.

i haven’t been doing any specific regimen, i tried all the things i could find online (unless they sounded dangerous like the forced vomiting) i’m afraid i only have olive oil atm, would that work?

thank you so much! i’ve been googling everything i can think the last few days but nothing i saw mentioned a specific medication (my vet doesn’t take baby chicks so i couldn’t take her in to get a prescription)

i have a chick with slow or sour crop (info in previous post if anyone is curious) she’s had it for three days and i’ve tried massaging, took her outside for an hour to isolate her from food and water and get her some grit, etc. all the usual treatments (except forced regurgitation) and...
