    Yellow Rough Skin on Crop after impacted crop

    My hen had impacted crop, what felt to be a small amount of wadded grass in there. I gave her some coconut oil and electrolytes and kept massaging it and it went down significantly. This morning only a tiny amount remained and most food and water that I’ve been giving her is not sitting in her...

    Crooked crop?

    I have one little buff orpington chick that is the smallest of my chicks. This one seems a little special than the rest, lol. I have to always pick out one abnormal animal out of any animal I get. One thing I have noticed, is when it eats, which it does eat well, the crop seems to be offset to...

    Doughy crop on 5 week old chick - help please!

    Hi all! I'm raising 16 chicks for the first time and have a very small 5 week old cuckoo marans chick, less than half the size of its hatchmates. I've been keeping an extra eye on it and over the past few days I've withdrawn food from the brooder overnight to double check its crop in the...

    (Update) RIP HeadHen - Story of HeadHen and how unique she is

    (not asking for advice, just sharing HeadHen's journey, have thread for advice) So, this is HeadHen. Black Australorp, got her end of Feb 2023 in a straight run. She was the biggest hen: size, comb, redness. Even over some of the cockerels. She was always right there, talkative, loved eating...

    Crop impaction/hard stuff in crop? Not improving after 1 week, desperate

    Soooo it's been a week since these symptoms have started and a few days since I discovered that this was actually a crop issue. Here's my old thread for reference. Summary: Cookie, a 3 year old Tractor Supply Easter Egger has been lethargic, pale combed, having diarrhea and a messy bum, losing...

    Help! Lethargic Hen with Mushy but Emptying Crop

    I have grown up with chickens my whole life and was recently asked to petsit 4 newly adopted hens for a friend. I'm not sure exactly how old they are but I think they are relatively new egg layers so maybe around 30 weeks? The first day hen sitting I noticed one Rhode Island Red was quite...

    older hen with watery poops, slow crop issue (now sour?), slow moving

    Hey, I've got a Lavender Orpington hen of ~4 years old (weighs 6.4 lbs - nice and lovely feathers) that was standing away from our flock yesterday - tail down and moving slowly. We brought her home to watch for her intake of water (I added electrolytes) and have grit available. She hasn't laid...

    Egg laying stopped after crop issues

    Hi everyone, I was hoping you all could lend me your experience on a matter I am having with one of my australorp hens-Polly. Several months ago Polly had sour crop which turned into an ER visit, which turned into antibiotics, and testing. Her crop has never been the same since so now she wears...

    Sour crop, monistat, and this poop.. help!

    Hello all! It’s been a while since I posted anything here. I have an emergency question. My serama hen Burrito (she is 3 years old) has been having sour crop on and off. I usually put on a monthly fasting for 1-2 days, and she would be fine. These past 3 months I have been extremely busy and...

    Cull? Found mass under roost bar this morning

    Warning, gross photo. Background: My big Marans was doing the crop dance back in June, so I treated her for impacted crop. It only went down so far and a mass wouldn’t go away. So then I started thinking maybe she has a tumor. After 2.5 or 3 weeks in a crate I put her back into the chicken...

    Help! EYP and water ballon crop - oral antibiotics?

    My chicken developed EYP, and I've been treating her with baytril 10 (oral). However, at the onset of EYP her crop swelled up and stopped emptying. It isn't sour crop (yet) as there's no smell, but she's drinking lots of water and it--along with the meds--seem to just be sitting in her crop...
