Two issues occurring in our tiny flock right now and I've always found great advise on this sight so reaching out for more(?) advise/guidance.
Sour Crop: We are on day 3 of something going on with one of our 6 year old barred rock hens. She has been lethargic and throwing up. Based on...
My chicken started wheezing/gasping a week or so ago. I was away, so I didn’t catch it at the beginning. It sounded like a respiratory issue. When I picked her up, she had a very squishy crop and threw up a lot of foul smelling liquid.
I treated her with ACV and yogurt. Gave her plenty of...
Hello all!
It’s been a while since I posted anything here.
I have an emergency question.
My serama hen Burrito (she is 3 years old) has been having sour crop on and off. I usually put on a monthly fasting for 1-2 days, and she would be fine. These past 3 months I have been extremely busy and...
Has anyone ever experienced an impacted crop from oyster shells? We thought one of our chickens had sour crop and after taking it to the vet for a crop flush we were told she had stones in her crop. This didn't exactly make sense given the "stone" we were shown was bright white and looked...
One of our chickens currently has sour crop. we have isolated her, massaged, given ACV, drained the crop, pretty much all the basic measures you see when looking for treatment options. She is acting relatively normal, but her crop will not seem to fully empty and today she her poop was green. We...
Hi all!
It’s been a while since I’ve posted here and surprisingly it was about sour crop for one of my very sick hens. Well today I noticed one of my girls has sour crop. I know all the ways I can treat it but I was curious- we have a Nystatin medication here that’s 500,000 per tablet unit...
I've done a bit of a search on the forums but want to double check before dosing -
I have a girl who has had two rounds of nystatin and now showing sour crop for the third time in three months.
We'll get her to a vet soon (no avian vets on certain days here) - but I want to start her on a...
I have a 8 month old Rhode Island Red hen that is displaying some of the symptoms of sour crop. She has always been a smaller bird compared to the rest of our flock, and developed wry tail as she got a bit older. I've found some complaints online from the hatchery she came from that their...
We're going into summer, it's getting hotter each day. And over the past 5 weeks I've had 3 girls sick with sour crop (3rd is in for the night to see if we can get it moving). They're 2 year old Orpingtons (blues and black). Other 2 hens have been fine (well, one had an unrelated reproductive...
Hey everyone! I'm concerned about one of my year old hens. For the past few weeks she's been having very watery, small, unnaturally green poops (pictured here). It took me a while to figure out which hen was having these droppings because until just a few days ago, she'd been acting fairly...
1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.)
I have a Speckled Sussex pullet, Thelma, who is feeling very poorly. She’s about 10 months old. I don’t think she’s lost much weight.
2) What is the behavior, exactly.
My flock caught...
My olive egger, Gertie, is about 18mos the old. About a month ago we started having issues with her - lethargic, losing weight, not eating much if at all and excessive thirst when she would drink. She started molting but seemed a bit extreme compared to the others. She was also having diarrhea...
I watched a couple videos to help relieve sour crop from my Americana, Jess, she did well. And I fed her water, .... it was fluid but more food than anything. she choked at one point and then got it out. There was a chunk of food. it definitely smelled bad. I gave her water afterwards and she...
Her crop was full felt like a balloon Monday and been massaging her crop giving her water with apple cider vinegar and yogurt. Today her crop felt smaller and has gotten smaller throughout the day she’s been pooping right after I massage her crop. I caught her eating a pear that was on the floor...
my chicken has sour crop and I want to give her Monistat but don’t know the right dosage, the one I bought come in a tube. Do I give her a pea size amount? Also I’ve seen some post say 3x a day or 1x a day?
I own 6 chickens, and when I picked up one of them today, I noticed their chest was squishy, almost like a water balloon. I knew this was a symptom for sour crop so I went and felt my other chickens crop, and theirs seemed fairly squishy as well. They live in a large run with no grass, mostly...

Hi all! I have a hen named Daisy and she is very very deathly ill. She is 7 years old and grew Rooster plumage, spurs, and comb over this summer.
Then a few days ago she began acting sick. She wasn’t walking much, acted sleepy and when she tipped her head down she would yank it...
Hi all. I am a first time chicken keeper in my hens are about 7 months old. they have just started laying eggs. One of my hens is definitely dealing with sour crop. I have made sure it’s not an egg bound issue. She is drooling water, watery diarrhea, lethargic and soft squishy crop. We isolated...
Hi all! Hope everyone is well. Hoping to find some answers regarding my sweet hen Cheeseburger. She seems to be having some crop issues, but I can’t decide if it’s impacted/sour/some other mystery thing. It’s fluctuated in size the past few days, but has always been too full too early in the...
Hello everyone,
I am new here as I’ve only had my precious hens for 6 weeks but have found all forums extremely helpful so thanks in advance for any replies!
Unfortunately one of my babies (ex battery Rhodey) has impacted/sour crop and worms. After feeling a hard lump that didn’t disappear...
