Yes, I believe that is true. She is the lowest on the totem pole, which makes it harder for her to eat her fill in one go. Maybe that is where it stems from. I started the twice-a-day-feeding this morning. I hope it will help. I do wet feed (layer feed mixed with goat milk/yogurt/water) in the...

4 months later, Priscilla has sourcrop again. I have a question @azygous : Is sourcrop sometimes caused by habitual overeating? Priscilla doesn’t seem to have a “full button”. I am currently going by your advice I saw on your article (under comments), and leaving her with the flock. I treat her...

Well, I am cheering her on! Priscilla is laying now, another yay!

Yay!!!! My gal is doing good too! Crop check ok every morning. Eating like a horse.

So glad to hear that!!!

I made it. Did you use vet wrap?

I don’t know the answer to that, I am a beginner, but I hope one of the experts will come on and give you advice. I would think if the medication comes in a cream or suppository form and has the same active ingredient (Miconazole), it should work, but as I said I am a newbie. My hen never did...

Good to hear you are seeing signs of recovery! Mine is doing well! Back with the flock and empty crop every morning. She is wearing the bra right now, to make sure everything goes through a but better.

How is your little guy?

Thanks! I am checking her every morning and will for a long time to come. I think maybe what caused the initial impaction was when snow came and I forgot to make sure everyone had access to grit. They prefer to pick up gravel and ignored the grit all summer. Everyone has grit now and hopefully...

Happy update, Priscilla’s crop has been completely empty every morning. She is chipper and eats a lot, and as far as I can tell, it is going through her system properly. She is also fully accepted in her flock, even if it’s at the bottom.

Thanks azygous. I will check in the morning, and if it’s not completely empty, she gets the bra on. I re-treated her and her sisters for the lice today. One of them still had nits and lice. I used Ivermectin cattle pour-on. I realize now Priscilla must have had the crop problem for a while...

Day 7 and a flat crop, but it felt like there was a tiny bit of liquid in there. I will definitely keep checking her crop every morning for a while now. I know she still has a slower crop than normal. Any tips for that? I thought after the Monistat is done, I will add garlic to their moistened...

Oh no! Good luck.

Not being an expert, ut that is for bacterial vaginosis, you need something that is for Candida, which is a yeast (fungus).

Day 6 on Monistat. Crop was empty again this morning. I am so happy! How are yours @Pugsiehens and @rumbleBee_STi ? Sending good vibes!

It’s called Monistat Derm cream. I would try and find one that doesn’t have alcohol in it. This one does, but it was the only one I could find. The instructions are near the bottom of this article...

For my girl I made a crop bra. She wore it for 2 days and it didn’t make a difference.

Well, you won’t believe it, but Priscilla’s crop was flat this morning! I was so excited, I sang and danced in the barn. First night outside and she is finally getting better! She is on Day 5 of Monistat and will still get it the whole 7 days. All the chickens get their feed mixed with yogurt...

She is spending the night in the coop with her friends. It’s warmish, and she is doing a good reintegrating. I can’t control what she puts in her crop, but it seems too hard on her to sit in a little crate, when she would rather be active. Still doing coconut oil and massage first thing in the...
