    Why is my chicken getting sour crop?

    I have one hen that keeps developing sour crop, but I can’t figure out why I have 6 other hens, and they have never gotten it and this is the second time my chicken “Snuggles” has gotten it. Why is it only Snuggle getting it? How do I prevent it? Thank you

    Please Advise

    I think this is my 3rd post this past week... not a good week so far :( I have yet another chicken that's all fluffed up; Brigid, my JG. She's walking around and everything with her feathers fluffed, but her crop is slightly full and squishy. No sour smell. I have a feeder left in the run for...

    Gapeworm-like symptoms but not gapeworm?

    Okay, this is a long one, but please bear with me; we are desperately trying to save our hen! I have a red sex link pullet (she's about ten months old now) who we got at eight weeks old, and has had a pendulous crop since we got her. It's also important to note that she's always seemed a little...

    Dying Chicken Care

    Yesterday I found Princess Buttercup, my 2 year old Buff Orpington, laying under the hydrangea in our backyard with one other hen sitting by her side. Buttercup has ascites and is prone to sour crop. She looked about like she usually does when she’s not feeling well. Her crop was very full of...

    Sick bird. What's wrong? Can she be fixed or is it too late?

    I have a flock of 7 birds. 2 Amberlink 3 Plymouth Rock 2 Blue Laced Wyandotte. One of my Wyandotte has recently started acting strange. Well, let me preface that by saying she has traditionally been the strangest of the bunch. She often gets broody, doesn't like to come near when we feed her...

    Do broody hens get squishy crops?

    I have a silkie hen (who is about 8-10 months old) that's broody. She refuses to get off her nest, mind you that's in the floor in a corner where everyone sleeps. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Yesterday while trying to move her to a less messy area, I noticed her chest area felt squishy. Now, I know this usually means...

    Crop Issues for Weeks on End Despite Treatment

    Hi, I have two hens who have been having crop issues on and off for the past two weeks. Their crops have gone from impacted, to doughy, to sour, then better, to then having issues again. I’m at my wits end with this and I don’t understand what’s going on. Hen 1: Impacted -> Sour -> Better ->...

    Possible Sour Crop?

    My friend has a young hen that's been very lethargic for the last week... They had originally treated her for sour crop; massaging her, giving her an antifungal, garlic water and some B12- she showed signs of improvement for a while but she's back to being lethargic. She doesn't have an appetite...

    Hen with sour crop!!!

    Help!!! My Rhode Island Red Bantam has sour crop. How can I help her? Will it go away on its own? I noticed that she was being really sad today (not eating, standing/sitting around, etc) and I felt that her crop was really squishy and fluid-like. Earlier she threw up a little bit of yellowish...

    Sick chicken. Need help on diagnosis

    My little Indi girl isn’t going good. She’s had a bloated crop for a couple of days. It did go down yesterday morning and this morning it was down, now it’s bloated up again.

    Chicken very sick with sour crop, possibly other issues.

    Hi all, I have a Hyline brown chook who is about 5 years old. It's been at least a month since she was laying but it's hard to know exactly how long as they free range a fair bit and sometimes find secret spots to lay. She is lighter than usual and very lethargic. She has been somewhat unwell...

    Recovering from Sour Crop, further advice needed

    On Saturday night, I posted about my hen Max behaving very lethargically and not eating. Some kind folks on here lead me to believe she had sour crop, which I have been treating her for since Sunday after getting her crop to empty on Saturday night. Max seems a bit better. I have given her some...

    Egg withdrawal with sour crop?

    I suspect my chicken Laverne has sour crop. Does anyone know if there is an egg withdrawal period if I treat her with miconazole? I can't seem to find an answer? 🤷 Thanks!

    Confused about my chickens crop

    This is my first time raising chickens and I would REALLY appreciate any advice on this. My hen has a very large crop.
