    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...

    Is this impacted crop behavior?

    Brought my bantam cosette in to clip her nails and she was doing this strange jerking head movement. Her crop felt very full and a bit hard and I wasn’t sure if this movement was her trying to unsuccessfully clear it? She was pooping some but a lot of it was really watery. Never seen anything...

    Sour crop or??

    Hi! My 10 month old Silkie chickie seemed to have an impacted crop (it was hard) so I gave her apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and massages. It’s not hard anymore, now gushy, and much smaller, but there’s no smell. She drinks water fine, and I gave her a little food since it doesn’t seem...

    Full crop, not laying, mostly runny droppings, but acting normal otherwise...

    Hello fellow Chicken People! My EE hen Holly has what I suspect is an impacted crop. It’s very full and when I try to massage it - I can feel pellets and hen scratch in there, but no big solid wads of anything. My chickens don’t free range so I doubt it’s grass, though she may have eaten some...

    One of my hens, a overall healthy 9 year old hen was acting strange a few days ago but the next day she seemed fine, I’m guessing at that point she just had a slowish crop. 2 days ago I noticed the hen acting much more lethargic so I checked her crop and it felt like a full water balloon and her...
