sour crop treatment

Hello everyone, I have a two year old chicken who is suffering from sour crop. I have been reading all of the suggestion and feel like I have tried everything. I'm not sure what to do next. I noticed my hen had a weird crop spasm one night when I was putting them to bed, so I took her in and...

I have an ISA Brown hen-almost 3 years old. Brought inside a few weeks ago with unknown issue- has recovered well with some tlc until now.

Updated: March, 17th 2021. Hi all, This is my first post on this forum, so hopefully I am posting this in the right section. *DISCLAIMER [1]: I'd like to start off by stating that it is always best to go to a veterinarian - specifically one specialized in poultry if possible. I am currently...

Hi all! Just a bit nervous about sour crop. My girl Chichi was sitting on my leg when she adjusted her crop, like when they do that big “yawn.” I smelt a quick whiff of something sour, but then while holding her and trying to sniff her breath I smelt nothing. Her crop also doesn’t feel full but...

I'm back with another unhealthy chicken. I have never worked with sour or impacted crop, but my chicken has one of the two. Today I noticed her standing with her eyes closed by the waterer constantly drinking and swallowing compulsively. I tossed out meal worms and she didn't even run over. She...

I’m really scared that my 6 week old ducks have sour crop. Their breath does smell foul, their excretions are runny, they don’t seem to have the appetite they once had, and their chests are squishy. I feed them a chick starter food and I think I over feed them veggies (without enough grit). I...

Hi everyone, My sweet hen Penny has an ongoing sour crop but recently started having unusual poops. I was very worried about her because she wasn’t preening, eating or drinking water and her crop was really bloated. She ended up having a very unusual poop (see pictures). I have never seen...

Hello, my girlfriend's chicken, a three month old Buff Orpington, has what we believe to be sour crop. This is the second day of her showing symptoms (lethargy, not eating and barely drinking, swollen crop). We have been trying to feed it Greek yogurt, but she just refuses to eat it no matter...

I have a chicken that started to throw up - which never had happened before... we got through that, but she still has a 'mushy crop'. I have watched a ton of videos on how to vomit them - which I have tried multiple time, but whatever is in there won't come up. She is off feed and has water...

My baby silkie chick has a pretty large crop bulge when I picked her up tonight. She’s pooping normally and has a normal appetite, but she shakes her head/twitches every now and again. I’m not sure if that’s normal or if I should be worried about sour crop. She’s about 2 weeks old, give or take...

Hello! I am in a bit of a tough situation. My hen was attacked by my dog, and has developed sour crop. I’m not sure if it developed before or after the attack. I am trying to research how to test it but there are so many different treatments I don’t know which one is best to use! I’m very...

I have an ex batter chicken, Frida (2yrs old, 1.94kg). Over the last few days she seemed a bit under the weather and today she is not right at all. Not eating and very droopy and not moving around. I have felt her crop and it is very large and squishy so I think it is sour crop. I cannot get her...

I have a pullet with sour crop from what I can tell. Her crop has been squishy and full the last few days and she was doing a weird neck jerking movement. I separated her and have forced her to vomit some of the fluid up once yesterday and once today. Also giving her ACV water and then some...

Looking for advice for my sweet Hen. I discovered her on Tuesday afternoon covered with ants and nestled down in the corner of her run. I immediately brought her indoors and cleaned her. She smelled bad so I felt around and found that her crop was full. She was awake and acting a little off but...

Tick tock, how long can a 5 year old hen go without drinking? Thanks to BYC forums advice, am treating her with a syringe of Miconazole 3 ( off label use of anti fungal) and yogurt twice daily, plus apple cider vinegar in her water. But she doesn’t seem to be drinking, and this is day 4 in...
