    Help with crop issue please

    A couple of weeks ago my 4 year old hybrid hen had a mass in her crop that didn’t go down overnight (not squishy like sour crop but not especially hard like an impaction either, more like food just hadn’t been digested). This went down after a couple of days when I took her food away, put apple...

    Chicken slow crop turned sour

    My hen has had a slow crop for 3 weeks after a particularly hard molt. I’ve been massaging but it stays pretty full. Today I went out and she was acting a bit less energetic. Her crop isn’t firm and is kind of squishy. Her breath smells slightly fishy, but only if i take a really deep whiff into...

    Chicken swallowed plum pit??

    I think one of my hens swallowed a pit from a plum… My mom threw a whole bunch of produce outside and when I went out they had gotten into it. I noticed a few plums in the mix, too, and my alarm bells went off. I felt around my chickens crops— and sure enough, something was very hard and...

    Liquid full crop and hen isn’t moving

    My hen yesterday at 4pm was found next to the water with their eyes closed and she would after 5 seconds drink more water, I picked her up and water came pouring out as soon as I touched it. It had a disgusting smell after she threw up when I pressed her crop to pick her up. I’m thinking it’s...

    Need help diagnosing a crop issue and deciding next steps

    We have a 4 year old hen who hadn't been roosting for a couple of nights. The morning after the 3rd night, we pulled her inside and started feeling around and noticed her crop was rock solid. We withheld food and throughout the day her crop started to feel more pliable, like it was full of...

    Emergency? Suddenly lethargic chicken

    My golden comet chicken, almost 5 months old, was suddenly very lethargic this morning. She didnt run out of the coop with the rest of the birds, and just stayed on her roosting bar. She doesnt usually let me touch her, but shes letting me pick her up and inspect her without complaint now. Her...

    Post-crop surgery care

    I did at home crop surgery on my girl. She’s definitely malnourished after a week of crop struggles and fluctuating appetite. How soon can I give her food and water?? I worry she is very weak and may not hang on if dehydrated and needing food too long

    chicken with crop issues - next steps

    I've been posting on here for about a week now. My 5-month-old buff initially had what I believe was an impacted crop. The vet gave us a medication to assist with motility, gave the last dose last night. I believe it turned sour. It feels balloon-like and full of air, when I massage it makes...

    Sour crop or something else?

    I have a 19 week old hen. She started laying last Monday and has been doing great. Today I noticed she’s been “throwing up” or spiting up fluid. She’s eating and drinking normal and acting normal. No lethargy or anything weird except the liquid. He poop is mostly watering since it’s been hot out...

    Impacted Crop

    My 4 year old chicken, Rona, has been sick for about a week. Her comb was fading and falling over and her crop was very enlarged (about the size of an orange). It was firm and sloshy. Her poop was very watery with some bright green. I brought her inside and put her on water only and some oil...

    Equate miconazole monostat for doughy sour crop now lethargic HELP

    My 4 month old blue copper maran has had a big doughy crop for about a week now. Can mold it like clay. It is not hard and I've squished it around and do not feel any hard masses, so I don't suspect impaction, at least not in the crop. Possibly further in the gizzard or digestive tract but I...

    Helping with Sour Crop/Regurgitation

    Hi, I've never posted on a forum before, but I think we may have recently saved our at least extended our Rhode Island Red's (Lois) life with this. She has occasionally had mild sour crop issues. She is about three years old, and has had a few bouts maybe the last two years. Not terrible, just...

    Impacted or sour crop?

    one of our BPR, has what looks like impacted or sour crop. We’ve isolated her for 24 hours without food, water only with ACV, given her cooked eggs to eat when reintroducing food. The crop doesn’t seem to be reducing at all. It is weirdly movable and at times feels like a water balloon. I’m...

    My family and I went on a vacation for Three weeks and I had a church friend watching my chickens while I was gone. Before I left, one of my chickens was not acting 100% right, but there were no obvious symptoms other than mildly lethargic. I got home today and she was not doing well. She...

    Crop stuffed with grit

    Hello! My hen (Cochin bantam, 11 months) has had crop issues since at least the end of march. I’m not exactly sure what’s wrong with her; sometimes her crop is almost empty, sometimes it’s full. Sometimes it's all liquid, sometimes it’s doughy. But it’s never empty. It’s very odd since, out of...
