    How to get chick to open beak?

    Hi! I’m fairly certain one of my bantams has an impacted crop. She’s still eating & drinking, but not as much as the others & she’s become lethargic. I’ve been giving them a small amount of ACV mixed in their water & daily massages. I wanted to try giving her a little coconut oil but she...

    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...

    Help! Impacted crop?

    This morning I woke up to my 1 month old chick lethargic and with a giant crop. It was semi hard and lumpy so all day I’ve been slowly feeding her coconut oil, massaging it, letting her rest for thirty minutes, repeat. I’d let her sip water with a bit of rooster booster inside. It definitely...

    Impacted crop?

    I didn't realize that the feeder was empty for a while and one of my chickens gorged herself on food when I refilled it maybe 3 hours ago. She looks almost like she's gagging while her crop moves up and down. Her crop itself is enlarged and hard, but she's acting fine besides that. I've given...

    Chickens with Impacted and Sour crop

    Hey there. So I noticed one of my girls, Baby, had diarrhea a few days ago. She seemed to be eating just fine and peppy so I thought maybe it was just a passing thing. But then she started acting kinda sad so I checked her crop yesterday morning and it was still big and squishy. I thought that...

    Dog attack, crop impaction, and respiratory issues

    Here is my previous post about Val’s dog attack. The saga continues! She’s been doing well after having her egg removed. Some feathers are growing back but the worst wounds are still healing and scabbed up. I’ve let her outside a few times in short visits to be a chicken, she seems good. BUT...

    Impacted crop question

    Hi, yesterday I was treating my hen for impacted crop. There was a hard, golf ball sized mass in the crop. I fed her olive oil through a syringe and was able to soften and break up the blockage. The issue is, every time I massage it and break it up, it seems to re-settle and get firm again...

    Crop issue in chick?

    So this year we had a very bad brooder experience, and I suspected the feed to be the cause but it could just as easily have been bad incubation as we had a cold snap and even with full heat on the house had trouble staying warm. I switched away from the organic starter I used last year to a...

    Impacted Crop and Repeat Offenders

    When I talked to my vet about bringing my chicken back out after an impacted crop she told me about a chicken who was a repeat offender. So much so that after many surgeries they had to keep the chicken off the ground and inside. Has anyone had any success after an impacted crop or did their...

    My hen is roughly 4 years old ( she was inherited). On another subreddit I just learned she has an impacted crop. It's morning time here, and the crop is hard. I gave her veg oil and oily scrambled eggs ( as I saw online) and after 15 minutes began massaging the area. I can feel the food, as I'm...

    Impacted Crop?

    I have a silkie Rooster (18weeks) that I think has an impacted crop. There is a buldge on his upper right chest area. It feels like it's filled with putty. He doesn't seem to be acting strange, but I did catch him laying down once today, which is unusual. I have tried to syringe feed olive oil...
