Over the weekend I did crop massage about every hour to 90 min... In the morning the crop feels swollen like a thick liquid with feed crumbles that I can feel at the bottom. As the day goes on every time I massage it, it seems to reduce down to a feel of wet but loose sand. It's much smaller...

She's pooping normally though?

Ok, well this morning I am thinking this is an obstructed crop. I sprained my shoulder and can'thold her to syringe oil into crop, so I soaked cheerios in oil until mush and she ate that. Then I did crop massage and could feel not just the gravel-feel of the feed, but something larger - same...

Very labored breathing! Seems like slow suffocation? Anything I can do???: Edit: I am worried about putting a crop bra on her now as she is open-beak breathing.

Hey all, I have her in my kitchen in a crate. I have tried everything. After multiple revisions, I had a workable crop bra using vet wrap and bubble wrap...but while she had less fluid in her crop in the morning (on the roost), her crop was still full and firm with a very firm/'packed' wet-sand...

Pooping as normal.

It just came! Do I need to isolate her or give it in the flock waterer?

Hopefully, it won't be too long....they had no fast ship options.

I ordered it, thank you!

Thanks, all, for your support. :) Sorry to complain earlier - just never encountered this issue ...and my girl is 10, so overly worried that I suddenly don't know what I'm doing. :) This morning her crop is smaller but still tennis ball-size and feels like a lot of the liquid is gone. Feels now...

Thank you!!

I appreciate it. I'm on other sites seeing what help I can get. Thanks.

Crop is the size of a softball. Just gave Miconazole. She's showing no signs of distress and when I let her out of the crate while I cleaned it, she walked around and seems otherwise normal. No idea. Edit to add: I have somewhat small hands but her crop is much larger than my hand. I gave her...

Ok, so she was crated all day today, outside with water. I made a crop bra using a piece of wool and 2 strips of vet wrap. I put it on her and as she struggled, she threw up some hot liquid. I'm really quite surprised to not get any help here. I've done my best to read through the articles...

Today, her crop is the size of a softball. Still no odor. I can feel feed (crumbles) in one area. It feels, like thick liquid and soft flesh and it is very heavy. Doesn't show outward distress. This morning, without thinking, a family member gave her fresh water and crumbles. When I got up I...

I'm bringing her in for the night. I have only fresh water in a crate. My husband went to get miconazole and yogurt just in case. Anything else I should be doing, let me know...will start looking at crop bras. While her crop is low, more than anything it's swollen and sits a little to one...

So, after reading azygous' informative paper on the subject, I'm leaning towards pendulous crop. I went out to the coop, sat her on my lap and supported her crop with my hand and she immediately seemed to relax. I gave gentle massage with periods of just supporting the crop and she seemed to be...

In 10 years of chickenkeeping, this is my first swollen crop - so unfamiliar territory. The crop is very large and round and does feel 'squishy' (although not in a 'liquid' sense - feels more fatty-squishy). My husband said he noticed it swollen yesterday. How to know if this is pendulous, sour...
