    Impacted Crop not emptying??

    Hello! I brought in my five year old Cochin a couple days ago because I noticed her crop was full and solid in the morning, about a little smaller than a baseball. I kept her inside on only water and grit the first day, treating her for an impacted crop, which she’s had in the past. The second...

    Impacted crop

    For the past two days I’ve noticed that my hen Eileen has had a hard mass in her crop. It’s only the size of a large marble, but rock solid. I’ve dealt with impacted and sour crops before, but not sure how to approach this one as she is still eating and drinking fine– and the food she’s eating...

    Impacted Crop, Marek's Disease, Predator Attack or Something Else Entirely?

    I am concerned about bumps these chicks have on their wings and a large lump they each have on the same sides of their neck/shoulder. One of them has a bottom that looks very red as well. I have only had them in my care for a couple of hours. I am unsure how sick they maybe or if I can nurse...

    Impacted crop - possibly ball of grass

    HELP PLEASE!! We are seeming to have a problem with impacted crops in our small flock. Our hens are not free range but they do get grit and oyster shells. Since it’s been nicer the last few weeks we have thrown a few handfuls of grass in the run for them as an extra treat and for the passed few...

    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...

    Impacted crop advice

    My 5 year old hen is back with another impacted crop, only this time it's worse than usual. She's molting, which probably changed her appetite, which made her eat a lot of long grass. :barnie I thought this would last two or three days, but it's officially a week now with impacted crop. Hasn't...

    13 Week Old Chick With Impacted Crop.

    Hello, I would like some tips for the best ways to treat impacted crop? I've tried the Olive Oil, with massage with some success. The crop did go down alittle, but is still quite large, & is as hard as golf ball. I tried the water trick, with massage which was a fail. Going to try coconut oil...

    Impacted Crop Advice

    One of my hens has an impacted and pendulous crop. So far I haven't fed her in 24 hours in hopes the impaction would pass (it hasn't). I gave her oregano oil which she hated and I have been giving her massages. I suspect it's been 3 days that her crop has been impacted. Her crop is one solid but...

She also is having some pretty yuck,runny...

    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...

    Sour crop or impacted?

    Hi everyone, I have 7 hens that are right around 6 months old and a couple days ago I noticed my biggest girl had a huge hard lump on her chest. It scared the crap out of me, I thought she had breast cancer. ‍♀️ Anyway, after hours of googling and figuring out how to get chicken health articles...
