    Help!! Possible Cocci and Swelled Crop/Sour Crop? Pics attached

    On Saturday I noticed one of my silkies had a swollen crop, not hard, balloon like. She has had ACV in her water since, I’ve given her some warm water mixed with veg oil, massaging her crop whenever I get a chance from neck to breast, and started monistat on Monday 2x a day. Monday I noticed two...

    Crop issue - pendulous, sour, partially obstructed? Where to start?

    I'm a little unsure where to start with my chicken's crop issues, so appreciate any tips! We've had chickens for 3 years, first time to have an issue. Chicken (named Banana) is 1 year old, Easter Egger mix of some sort. She has had a large crop that empties slowly for months. I thought it was...

    I thought sour crop, but my girl eats and drinks all day long

    Initially my girl’s crop didn’t deflate overnight and she had stinky breath. I started giving her yogurt then a few days later a small amount of monisat, non toxic kind. The crop is deflating overnight now and no smell. Her diarrhea was a greenish purple after I fed her fermented food for the...

    Stumped - clear fluid, ascites?

    I am clueless as to what’s next with this hen! Who - Three year old Golden Buff from Meyer. She’s fed organic layer feed, oats once a week as a treat(very small amount), and leftover veggies as I have them. I’ve learned the hard way to limit treats. What - slightly lethargic, hiding out...

    sudden death of our hen

    We are new chicken owners we’ve had hens for about 2 year but not had any health issues until our hen died yesterday & we wondered if we could get some wisdom from experienced chicken keepers. We woke up to one of our hens coming out of the coop looking sick. She had her head towards her chest...

    Sour Crop?? Watery, gassy, pendulous crop

    Hi BYC. I don't use forums often so I apologize in advance if I'm doing anything wrong. SBC ("scared black chicken" - name courtesy of my cousin) is a black sex link hen, ~6yrs old, weight unknown but she currently feels lighter than she usually is. She has had a pendulous crop since we got her...

    Sick chicken- sour crop?

    I have a 3 year old (this spring) golden comet that has been sick for about 2 days now. She has been walking around slightly upright with her head kind of tucked back into her neck. I noticed yesterday late afternoon water leaking from her mouth so I checked her crop and it felt squishy and airy...

    Sour Crop - coconut yogurt instead?

    Dealing with sour crop in one of my girls. I separated and withheld food for 24hrs, but left out grit and water, gave her 1/3 a monistat 2% suppository 1x today and will do it 1x a day for a few more days. I’ve tried massaging her crop as well. If by morning her crop is still full and squishy…...

    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. I’ve given olive oil thinking it could be sour crop, just to help push some things out. She did this poo and now someone...
