    I have a ~7 month old Barred Rock that started acting very slow and lethargic at some point late yesterday. She is a bit puffed up, and not very interested in food.

I thought she might have sour crop and I had...

    Hen with large, soft, squishy crop... Sour crop? Something else?

    Hello BYC friends, I've just isolated an approximately 2 y.o. hen that is lethargic. Her eyes are bright, she is breathing fine. While I was holding her, examining her crop, it feels large (as in expanded), soft, and squishy. Almost not like a crop at all, but more like just her tissue if...
