    Crop issue in chick?

    So this year we had a very bad brooder experience, and I suspected the feed to be the cause but it could just as easily have been bad incubation as we had a cold snap and even with full heat on the house had trouble staying warm. I switched away from the organic starter I used last year to a...

    I think my chicken has sour crop

    When I went out to feed my chickens this morning I noticed that one had a really dirty butt. I caught her and looked her over. Her crop is full and squishy. Sometimes her crop doesn't fully empty overnight and she still has a little food in it in the morning, but it's never been full. If we can...

    Duckling with Sour Crop

    I'm pretty sure my 3-week old duckling has sour crop. I noticed one was acting different today - lethargic, not keeping up with the group, chirping constantly. The duckling is also quite smaller, maybe half the size of the other ducks. I picked the duck up to look for any signs of illness and I...
