    Please Help, I don’t know what to try next!

    My olive egger, Gertie, is about 18mos the old. About a month ago we started having issues with her - lethargic, losing weight, not eating much if at all and excessive thirst when she would drink. She started molting but seemed a bit extreme compared to the others. She was also having diarrhea...

    Hen with an impacted crop? Please help!

    I came home and immediately noticed one hen was acting weird. Her crop is full and hard as a rock and she's making weird gagging movements every five seconds or so. She was fine when I left this morning. I feed pellets. For the past 2 days I was feeding them mashed potatoes to diversity their...

    Help with a very slow or impacted crop please

    TLDR: Crop issues, she passes some material and has gotten empty, but when reunited back with her flock she got plugged up again. She is molting, I've read that slows their metabolism and can create crop issues, but offer no solutions. There is NO apparent bad smell coming from her mouth. The...

    Hi, everyone, Hoping for some advice. I have a 2.5-year-old Ameraucana hen named Sunny Side Up who’s been going through a hard molt. She feels thin and appears to have lost weight. About a week ago, I noticed that she was spending some of her day looking puffed up and squinty eyed—like she felt...

    How long can an impacted crop chicken live?

    My chickens going two weeks with an impacted crop. I’m feeding her yogurt, water with olive oil and massaging her crop hoping she’ll poop whatever she has stuck in her crop. I called some vets and asked about prices and it’s out of my budget right now, which I feel bad about it. She still walks...

    Corrected impacted crop chicken still not laying

    I have an Easter Egger hen who had an impacted crop for somewhere between a few days to up to a week. It took about 3 days to correct once I discovered it but it might have been a few days before I noticed. She’s still thinner than my other Americana but not super thin. I don’t believe she has...

    Hen lethargic, loss of appetite, hard crop

    Hello! My 1 year old hen is suddenly under the weather today. She is laying down a lot and not eating. Her comb, vent, feet and face all appear normal. No strange odors or parasite I have seen. The only thing I noticed is her crop has a hard mass (feels like it could be feed, oyster shell...

    Full Crop Won't Clear

    I noticed about two weeks ago that my 16 week old pullet had an enlarged crop. No worries, didn't think much of it. I only noticed because she started to make a gesture like she was gagging (I know chickens can't gag, but that was what it looked like). Went on a vacation and came back, and it...

    Is her gasping and noise a symptom of the impacted crop?

    This little girl has an impacted crop. I have given her coconut oil and massaged her crop multiple times. She is drinking water with olive oil. She pecked at some scrambled eggs today, and i actually made her a slurry of chick feed, water, raw egg, and olive oil. She's not real interested in...

    Help! EYP and water ballon crop - oral antibiotics?

    My chicken developed EYP, and I've been treating her with baytril 10 (oral). However, at the onset of EYP her crop swelled up and stopped emptying. It isn't sour crop (yet) as there's no smell, but she's drinking lots of water and it--along with the meds--seem to just be sitting in her crop...

    Hey hall, we’re first time chicken parents and our 2-3 week old chick keeps getting impacted crop. We did some research and made her fast for 24 hours, gave her some olive oil using a dropper and allowed her to swallow it. I spent like an hour massaging it and we separated her for the night and...

    This is Apricot, she’s 8 months old and lays. Yesterday morning (Wednesday 11/16) I noticed she had a very large crop, but that was after she had ate already. It was about the size of a softball. I didn’t separate her then because she was still very active and eating. I just gave her some...
