    Baby chick with crop issue?

    Hi, I have 5 chicks that are about 10 days - 2 weeks old. 2 of them (my Easter eggers) I noticed this afternoon had huge distended crops. This is my first time raising chicks, though I've had chickens for 4 years. I called the farmer who sold them to me who suggested I take out the wood chips...

    Soft lump on chick's throat, full of bubbles?

    We have a ten day old male chick with a lump on his throat. We thought it was his crop to start with, but now it is soft and squishy and kind of bothers him when you touch it. I've attached the best photo I could get. The skin over it has no feathers or fluff and is really thin, and I can see...

    Impacted crop? Or something else?

    Shortly before I brought them inside for the night, my hen started making these weird little jerking movements with her neck. Her crop was slightly firmer than usual, so I broke up the food by massaging with my fingers and gave them water to drink before bed. To me it looked like she was trying...

    Duck at local park sick?

    Hello! I'm new to ducks because my boyfriend and I moved into our first apartment together and there's a huge lake/community center across the street that we visit all the time. We like to feed peas (or a small amount of rice when we're out of peas) to the geese and ducks there. Our favorite...

    Impacted crop

    Ugh... one of my hens has an impacted crop. When I felt her crop this morning it was hard like a baseball. I massaged it and it softened up a smidge. Feels like it is full of grit. Does olive oil really help it get moving?

    Some sort of crop condition?

    My girl Ethel has a large crop today and I can tell she isn’t feeling too good. It doesn’t feel like food in there, it’s soft. What can I do? EDIT: New topic, https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/sour-crop-questions.1330103

    Swollen crop: to worry or relax

    Hello! I know this has been posted about a dozen times on here, but the difference in my scenario is that a 10 day old Orpington with what I assume is a swollen crop is otherwise perfectly healthy: drinking water, eating, maybe straining a bit for a small dry poop but I didn’t take notice of it...

    Impacted Crop? How do I clear it?

    My hen's crop is full and hard when she goes to roost at night and is still quite full first thing in the morning, though not as hard. My other hens have little to no palpable crop in the mornings. Does this mean it's impacted and if so how do I help her empty her crop? I think this has been...

    Bald spot on chicks crop

    My 3 day old chick has a bald spot on their crop. I've noticed that their crop looked like it was tilted a little to the right a few days ago and now it's balding, does anyone knows why this is? I was a little worried at first because the last time I saw a slight bump on the side of a baby...

I thought of puncturing it but if it’s the crop that would be bad. Also, it’s chest skin is pretty thin and it has been opening its mouth kinda as if it was...

    2 day old baby dove crop isn't emptying!?

    Hi there, I fed my baby dove this morning around 8am and came back 3 hours later and the crop hasn't shown any signs of it being digested or going down? It's now 6pm and the crop is still the same way I left it. Everything in the incubator is up to Max, it's warm just like a mother dove chest...
