    Rooster Making Gagging Motion - SOS

    Is anyone familiar with this “movement” and how to solve it? It seems like he is trying to remedy the sour crop on his own by "vomiting". I just think about what we (humans) look like when we are gagging or dry heaving and it kind of looks similar. Though I know chickens don't vomit, the...

    Chicken is wheezing - and lost a hen last week

    Hi everyone, One of my hens is suddenly wheezing. She makes an inhale wheeze and then shakes her head a bit. The head shaking doesn’t happen with every breath, but often enough that it is worrisome. Her sister died suddenly about 1.5 weeks ago. Just curled up in a corner to “rest” and was dead...

    Sour Crop Question

    Would it be bad to introduce multiple different treatments at once for sour crop? One of our chickens had a crop blockage last year and eventually recovered after expensive vet treatment and multiple times a day of massages and medication and I think she came out of it with a slow crop...

    3 week old chick sudden death, ?Crop related

    Hi all, this afternoon I found one of my 3 week old chicks dead. I noticed last night she was acting a little “off”, wouldn’t lay down with the others and stood on her own sleeping.

    [Pics] Swollen Air Sac / Crop (Possibly subcutaneous emphysema?)

    After getting trampled, a turken chick of mine had ballooning in his air sac and crop. At first I assumed it was sour crop but massaging while he was upside down did nothing, and nothing came out either. I looked it up on BYC and I think it was subcutaneous emphysema, so I followed advice given...

    Chicks dying unexpectedly, swollen crop, opening and closing mouth

    I bought 5 Orpington chicks between 1 and 7 days old. All at different times I noticed one chick under the lamp not really moving just sleeping. Won’t open its eyes and won’t eat but will drink lots when I put their beak to the water. Their crop seems large and squishy like it’s full of air or...

    Impacted crop?

    I have a lovely, friendly hen who, about 4 days ago, wouldn't leave the nesting box (no she is not broody) and when I open the box her feather puff out as if in pain. So I assumed impacted egg, since she hadn't laid that day and she often gives me double yokers. On day 2 I soaked her in an epsom...
