I have a BA who is approx 6 months old. Two days ago i noticed her crop was quite distended (approx. the size of a tennis ball). I isolated her the next morning and kept her off of food for approximately 24 hours. She had access to water with ACV, which she seemed to be drinking normally. That...
Hi there. I’ve noticed a problem with my chicken and I believe it’s either a compacted or a pendulous crop. What’s the next step to dealing with this. Sorry about the background it was all that was readily available.
Hildegard is a sweet girl who loves to cuddle and will happily fall asleep in your arms while you are binge watching tv. She is also going to give me a stroke. She has always been very curious, always searching and pecking and exploring. We ended up with an impacted crop, we took care of it...
In November of 2017, My EE had gotten an impacted crop. After 2 1/2 weeks she got better but had a stretched crop. It seem now it is causing her issues. She has been spitting up, drinking alot more water than usual, and is moving her neck. Her crop feels like a mixture of sand and water, and it...
Hey guys! I have an older hen who is a red comet. She’s about 5 or 6 years old... I’m not too sure. But she was recently molting, poor thing, and of course during the cold. I’m aware that she has frostbite on her comb, and she has an impacted crop. Another hen has feet lice and was wondering if...

I've posted on facebook asking for advice on one of my particularly large Cochin hens. I bought her as a novice chicken owner, she's just over a year old. I think, now, after research that she once suffered from a Pendulous Crop that won't ever fully be normal - despite my efforts to keep her...
I have a pullet about 9 weeks old and while feeding the flock meal worms I noticed she had a bit of a bulge. It looked like pendulous crop so I picked her up and felt it to verify and I believe its the crop. So, is it pendulous crop? Should I be worried/does it have the potential to harm her...
My hen has a pendulous crop and after several attempts trying various things I have decided to try a crop bra.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to make one and also if she must wear it 24/7? I have a big ace bandage I was going to try to use..
