    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...

About 3 weeks ago we were preparing to leave for a trip to Maine from Ky, night before our flights my favorite most sweetest hen , “noodles” started acting lethargic suddenly, lying down, wouldn’t stand when we tried to...

    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...

    Crop adjustment or gape worm?

    Hi everyone! My 3 month old pullet was lethargic Monday morning and afternoon. We isolated her, made her some scrambled eggs, gave her poultry cell and some electrolytes and she has definitely perked up since, but while she has been isolated, her poop has been like a medium to dark green and...

    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...

    Very sick chicken who’s lost weight, has a crop the size of a softball, and has thrown-up. Help!

    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...

    Sour Crop or Something More Serious?

    Hi all, One of our lovely girls has a suspected case of sour crop, but I'm worried it may be something worse. The right side of her chest, where the crop is, is very enlarged to about the size of a tennis ball, I'd say. She is big for a hen and hasn't started laying even though she's about 7...

    Pullet with an empty crop before bed

    Hello! This is a first time occurrence with this particular chicken, so I’m not overtly concerned, but I am curious. My pullets (13 weeks, bantams Serama/cochins) occasionally go bed with empty crops. It varies on who it is, but it just seems odd. They act normal and eat/drink. We’re having...

    Sticky/Clear Mucus(?) Desperate

    Hi all, I have a 5-year-old Bantam rooster who has been sick for about a month now. He had been doing this gagging/regurgitating motion and acting lethargic. He was treated by a vet for a bacterial crop infection and given antibiotics. After a week, he was cured of this infection. Although he...

    English Orpington huge crop

    I have a silver laced English Orpington that has an absolutely ginormous crop. It’s empty every morning but she just refills it by the evening with an astronomical amount of food. It’s roughly the size of a softball. My question is, is it unhealthy for her to do this? Is this breed more prone to...

    Impacted Crop on Duckling

    Hi, this is Donald, we found him loitering by himself on the road and decided to take him home.

I don’t think its sourcrop; her crop nor breath smell and her crop isn’t swollen — its actually very small and squishy (maybe because she isnt eating?). Shes...

    Chicken doesn’t have a lot of food in crop at night

    Hello! I have a pair of 7mo Blue Andalusians and a broody Cochin who I’m not concerned about. Now, Rachel - one of my blues - I’ve noticed doesn’t have a very full crop at night. I noticed this weeks ago, but didn’t think too much of it. It isn’t empty, and I do see her eat (if not as...

    My hen has been acting weird for about two weeks. It seems she had had crop problems on and off. I have been feeling her coconut oil every time, but today I’m worried something is seriously wrong. She is sluggish and shakes her crop strangely. I have been trying to feel her crop, but she is...
