    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...

    Accidentally cut the crop

    Hey everyone! First time butchering one of my roosters and as I was doing it I believe I cut the crop (the balloon type thing on the esophagus) . I was wondering if I still removed it, if it is safe to still eat the chicken? It looked like there wasn't anything in the crop when it happened. Any...

    Lump on chest of chick?

    Good evening, One of our chicks has a large, round lump on her chest. I know that chickens have crops, but this seems larger than her sisters and hard. This is also our baby chick who has random bald spots, so I'm getting worried. Does it look normal or should we be worried?

    Hello! While checking my chickens' crops, I found that one had a very squishy crop compared to the others. I hadn't noticed before because she acts perfectly fine, but now I'm concerned after looking it up. I went back in the morning to check if it was empty and it did feel flatter. Does anyone...
