    I'm back with another unhealthy chicken. I have never worked with sour or impacted crop, but my chicken has one of the two.

    Gravel Not Emptying From Crop - Normal?

    This morning when doing random crop checks, I noticed my Barred Rock's crop seemed quite full for first thing in the a.m. Upon massaging it to get a better feel, it broke apart into a bunch of pebbly or gravelly feeling bits. I wouldn't say it's full--at least not in the classic impaction...

    Inspect a molting chicken's crop?

    Hi, my poor hen just started molting earlier this week. Horrible timing, as the high has been in the 40s and the low has been in the mid-20s. The past few days she's been acting very peculiar. Initially, I thought it was because she was so cold, but now she's acting like she is dizzy. She takes...
