    Can Sour Crop Cause Seizures?

    One of my Serama pullets, Betty, came down with a really bad case of sour crop where she was super lethargic, extending her neck gasping, with gurgling sounds in her crop, squeaking and having fits which included wing beating, jumping up in the air then flipping over on to her back or side with...

    Help, my hen is sick.

    If anyone has any advice, I would really appreciate it. Monday evening, we noticed one of our six 7-month-old Dorkings acting really strange. Isolating, moving in slow motion, not really foraging when free ranging. Before they went in for the night, I offered some wheat berries and she ate a...

    Sour Crop Aspirated - What do I do?

    Hi everyone, My 4-5yr old Bantam hen, Cricket, has been poorly for a couple of weeks. She'd be lethargic and not interested in food, then a couple of hours later be back to normal. I went out to feed her flock yesterday, and she was barely moving, and kept coughing/sneezing. I put her straight...

    Two chickens not eating/laying

    I have two chickens that within one day of each other became lethargic and stopped eating and drinking. One had a bubble crop that I assumed was sour crop. The other had an empty crop. I fed water and epsom to them for a few days and they both seemed fine. That was one week ago. Neither have...

    Egg bound, vent gleet, or??

    Advice appreciated! My chicken seemed fine then suddenly I noticed today her crop and under her vent were bulging. Either I didn’t notice anything sooner or it came on suddenly. It looks like her feathers are missing or just spread out a bit from the bulging, she has green/yellow diarrhea and...

    Back again - NEED HELP! PLEASE!

    My Hen might have a Respiratory Infection

    Hi! It’s been a long, long time since I’ve been on here, but my chicken, Abby is very sick. About 3-4 days ago she was acting extremely lethargic and panting excessively. Because the temperatures have been in the 100’s I assume she as just hot. That afternoon I brought her inside to cool off...

    Sour crop or??

    Hi! My 10 month old Silkie chickie seemed to have an impacted crop (it was hard) so I gave her apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and massages. It’s not hard anymore, now gushy, and much smaller, but there’s no smell. She drinks water fine, and I gave her a little food since it doesn’t seem...

    Rooster vomiting

    We have a young Crevecoeur rooster, and about two day ago I saw him open his beak and a milky white substance came out. Right after that, he was eating and walking around like nothing happened. Today I saw it happen again, but he still seems to be acting completely normal. He is also a Marek's...

    Rooster Making Gagging Motion - SOS

    Is anyone familiar with this “movement” and how to solve it? It seems like he is trying to remedy the sour crop on his own by "vomiting". I just think about what we (humans) look like when we are gagging or dry heaving and it kind of looks similar. Though I know chickens don't vomit, the...

    Sour crop and vent gleet

    I have 23 chickens, about 7 of them have some form of sour crop or vent gleet. I have treated these hens twice with Monistat which didn't seem to do anything. They have a squishy crop at night and poopy butts. Anyone have this issue in such great numbers? I am not comfortable making them...

    15 Week Old Pullets with Sour Crop

    Earlier today we bought four Partridge Cochins from an online seller. We were so excited to pick them up, but I could immediately tell they were not acting normally. Long story short, I figured out at least two have sour crop. They were drinking SO much water and some started spilling out of...

    Sour Crop Question

    Would it be bad to introduce multiple different treatments at once for sour crop? One of our chickens had a crop blockage last year and eventually recovered after expensive vet treatment and multiple times a day of massages and medication and I think she came out of it with a slow crop...
