My 4 week old chick still has a huge crop. It never goes down!
I posted about this when she was about 2 weeks old and everyone said it’s just full.
No...it’s huge. I have 5 other NN chicks the same age and none of them have a crop anywhere near this size.
It feels squishy and there’s no bad...
My 2 1/2 week old NN chick has a huge crop.
It’s been like this for at least a week now.
I thought it was strange but the chick doesn’t act distressed in any way.
It eats at drinks normally.
I put the chicks outside for about an hour today so they could scratch around and sunbathe.
I picked...
My favorite girl has an impacted crop (not certain). I'm not sure what is going on. She has a big, hard bump on her neck where the skin is a crusty black. I also just noticed that she has a messy bottom. I've separated her, given her water, ACV and have massaged the bump. There is a lot of...
Hey guys, our little 6 day old Australorp seems to have developed a large growth on the right side of her chest. It has been noticable for about 12 hours. After researching on here seems it could just be a swollen crop from eating too much, however after looking at diagrams it seems like it's a...
Need help! What to do? My Brahma is 10 months old and has a crop that has been slowly growing over the past 5 months. It's as large as a girls softball. I don't think she's ever laid an egg, but she's such a pretty girl I hate losing her. I'm a Senior on a fixed income and can't afford a...
These are not the best pictures but this is my BR pullet (she’s a late bloomer, I think anyhow). She has been standing in the nesting box a lot lately, even at mid day with everyone else outside. She is eating for sure, as I’ve seen her, her crop seams softish. She is up and moving around and...
Hey everyone,
I have a 7 week old Jersey Giant that has a swollen crop, it seems to be empty in the morning and then swells for most of the day after she eats. Not sure if this is something I should concern myself with. She doesn't seem to be acting weird or sickly. Her growth also seems fine...
I'm a new chicken mama in the last year, and I got a second batch of chicks in early August. One of these newer pullets has had a lot of crop trouble the past week. First I found her with a baseball size squishy ball on her chest that felt like it would burst any minute. I read several things...

Hi! I've done some research and found that this might just be a case of gluttony for one of my Isa Brown Roosters BUT I am scared it could be something worse and just want to hear from some more experienced keepers.
So yesterday as I was changing water in the coop, I noticed this rooster going...
Hi all,
We have a 23 week and 3 day old Black Australorp pullet who over the past 4 days has been acting kinda weird. She is a new layer ( on Sept 8). She had laid for 7 days straight, took a break and then started again yesterday, so it seemed as if she doesn't have a problem laying...
My hen is 7 months old, has been laying since 5 months (only taking a day or two off on rare occasion). She has not laid for two days and has been having watery poos. Sometimes no solids, all clear liquid. Today I noticed she was drinking excessive amounts of water which has made her crop...
Howdy all! Today my Banham hen named 'Lovey' had to visit the chicken doctor as she seemed to develop a "coughing" issue over the past couple of days. Noises as if she's attempted to clear her throat or something also similar to hiccups. Thought the problem may have been an impacted crop...
Im new chicken owner with four chickens, bought at 2 months old the beginning of april, so they are 6 months old now. The buff orpington has always been the smallest. we have 4 different breeds. Shes the last to come to food and water and the other birds seems to not be as shy and eat quicker...
Hello,
Totally new to chicken keeping and this week I made the amateur mistake of letting my girls freerange in our garden which has some longer grass in areas where my extension cord plus strimmer meant I couldn't get to cut it.
I noticed yesterday morning that the crop of one of my chickens...
