Thank you for the answers! I have a tiny Dutch bantam that has had a lump in her crop for a few days now and when I massage her crop I can feel a gristle-y lump that seems very mouse-like. I have had this happen before with another (full sized) hen that had a very similar feeling lump and it...
I'm just curious...When a chicken eats a mouse whole, how long does it stay in the crop? Does it have to break down before it moves through? Can it cause an impaction? Thanks for any info!
