Update: She’s gone. I brought her to the vet and had her euthanized. :( I feel terrible…she was such a sweet, spunky hen with so much personality. She was only just over a couple years old too. I’m just relieved she’s not suffering anymore. Thank you for all your help.

Update: nothing has changed. She is still doing the death throes…our vet is opening soon so I’m trying to get ahold of them to euthanize her. I can’t watch her suffer like this.

Thank you!!! I’ll give this a try. I believe it’s mostly grain and grit in there, especially based on the X-ray. I recently started feeding them hearty hen pellets but Nutrena, and it seems this issue began right around the same time. I’m also offering nutridrench in her water, to make sure...

Hi all, I’ve searched the forums and for the life of me cannot find a solid treatment for impacted crop that doesn’t involve surgery. Maybe that’s because there’s not one, who knows. But there has to be an alternative. One of my hens have impacted crop. I brought her to the vet yesterday, had...
