    Lethargic hen, full gritty feeling crop this morning

    I think my hens crop is full of grit and food can’t pass. It feels like a balloon full of sand. I found this video and it seems like the most gentle/natural method. Can anyone give me feedback on this? I’ve never dealt with an impacted crop before.
