    Chicken slow crop turned sour

    My hen has had a slow crop for 3 weeks after a particularly hard molt. I’ve been massaging but it stays pretty full. Today I went out and she was acting a bit less energetic. Her crop isn’t firm and is kind of squishy. Her breath smells slightly fishy, but only if i take a really deep whiff into...

    Hello all, I hope you can help me. My 2 year old Buff Orpington Tok is a very poorly chicken, she has sour crop and is completely off her food. The vets have aspirated her crop twice and she's had an enema to ensure no blockages. I have given her Epsom salt washes, massaged...but her crop...

    6 mo old lethargic, trouble with balance, panting

    Hello everyone, I'm hoping someone can help me this morning. One of my 2 Cream Legbars became lethargic last weekend and almost seemed depressed. While free-ranging, she would sleep in random spots when all the others were pecking about. Her vent looks healthy but I noticed her poop was runny...

    My hen yesterday at 4pm was found next to the water with their eyes closed and she would after 5 seconds drink more water, I picked her up and water came pouring out as soon as I touched it. It had a disgusting smell after she threw up when I pressed her crop to pick her up. I’m thinking it’s...

    Need help diagnosing a crop issue and deciding next steps

    We have a 4 year old hen who hadn't been roosting for a couple of nights. The morning after the 3rd night, we pulled her inside and started feeling around and noticed her crop was rock solid. We withheld food and throughout the day her crop started to feel more pliable, like it was full of...

    Winifred's Nesting Box Weirdness.

    Hello, Our Speckled Sussex, Winifred (roughly a year and a half old) has been acting rather strangely lately. We're not sure how long this has been going on for (maybe since August?), but she has taken to sitting in the nesting box, turning around, and acting as if she is going to lay an egg...

    chicken with crop issues - next steps

    I've been posting on here for about a week now. My 5-month-old buff initially had what I believe was an impacted crop. The vet gave us a medication to assist with motility, gave the last dose last night. I believe it turned sour. It feels balloon-like and full of air, when I massage it makes...

    Impacted crop, sour crop, now feels inflated with air?

    Is this normal for a sour crop to feel filled with air? It was impacted before, then it became sour, now I can barely even feel food in it, it just feels filled with air like a partially blown up balloon. I have tried EVERYTHING aside from monistat so I was going to try that now. Just wanting to...

    Impacted crop turned sour

    I noticed my chicken had an impacted crop on Friday. I thought we were about past it earlier, the doctor gave us Cisapride to assist with crop motility. But now, I think she has sour crop. It’s like a balloon filled with air. I’m so worried because she hasn’t had the ability to eat much of...

    Hi! New to the forum, so greetings and thanks for any help. I've had chickens for about 13 years and just got a new flock after the last ones finally passed away. My new girls are all 19 weeks old this week, so should start laying any day now. I have one hen that I'm very worried about and would...

    Sour crop or something else?

    I have a 19 week old hen. She started laying last Monday and has been doing great. Today I noticed she’s been “throwing up” or spiting up fluid. She’s eating and drinking normal and acting normal. No lethargy or anything weird except the liquid. He poop is mostly watering since it’s been hot out...

    Chicken vomiting yellow liquid

    Hi. My chicken is a 4 month old Colombian rock cross. She was fine yesterday but today I found her hiding and lethargic. In this kind of a scenario I would assume is coccidious and treat with Corid. However when I picked her up, I accidentally tipped her and yellow drool dribbled out. That made...

    Equate miconazole monostat for doughy sour crop now lethargic HELP

    My 4 month old blue copper maran has had a big doughy crop for about a week now. Can mold it like clay. It is not hard and I've squished it around and do not feel any hard masses, so I don't suspect impaction, at least not in the crop. Possibly further in the gizzard or digestive tract but I...

    Helping with Sour Crop/Regurgitation

    Hi, I've never posted on a forum before, but I think we may have recently saved our at least extended our Rhode Island Red's (Lois) life with this. She has occasionally had mild sour crop issues. She is about three years old, and has had a few bouts maybe the last two years. Not terrible, just...

    New to geese: questions and concerns!

    Hi everyone! I just acquired two Sebastopol goslings and I have a few questions. I’m pretty sure they’re mixed. They’re not breed standard, but they’re just pets so that really isn’t an issue. Number one issue is one seems to have an issue with her crop. She is holding her head up like she’s...

    Impacted or sour crop?

    one of our BPR, has what looks like impacted or sour crop. We’ve isolated her for 24 hours without food, water only with ACV, given her cooked eggs to eat when reintroducing food. The crop doesn’t seem to be reducing at all. It is weirdly movable and at times feels like a water balloon. I’m...

    Hi! First time chicken owner here - however; we have been just that for over a year and a half now. Everything has been great thus far. It all started when Drew (my fiancé) finding a Cornish Cross (meat bird) that had fallen off a truck. Long story short, we decided to take him in and care for...
