    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!

    I posted earlier this morning about our girl, Little. We think she has coccidiosis based on her bloody stool and change in demeanor this morning. We isolated her and gave her corid in the hopes that it will solve the problem. I've been watching her throughout the day (so thankful to be working...

    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...

    HELP! SUSPECTED SOUR CROP!

    HELP! SUSPECTED SOUR CROP! I suspect sour crop in two of my chickens and I don’t know what to do. They’re crops look larger than normal and feel jiggly and squishy, not hard. One of my chickens crops went down after a couple hours and the other hasn’t. I know sour crop should be treated...

    Crop Not Emptying Fully (but not impacted nor sour, yet?)

    Bear with me, because this is a complex issue that might have multiple factors at play. I appreciate anyone willing to take the time to read and respond to this. My 27 month old EE has recently started having issues with her crop not fully emptying at night. She is overall healthy, but does have...

    Speckled Sussex acting strange...

    Dr. Grant, my speckled Sussex, is walking around and not really doing anything. I felt her crop, and I suspected sour crop, so I’m doing my treatment for that now. (Layer pellets with water to make an oatmeal-like consistency, and kefir on the top. It has always worked for me.) Grant has gotten...

    Odd bald spot with an odor on my hen

    I have a hen who is definitely getting up in years now. I've had her 6 years, she was full grown when I got her. Anyway, she still is very active and spunky normally. I recently dealt with 2 problems simultaneously with her. We had a Northern fowl mite infestation which I treated with warm baths...

    Very bad sour crop!

    I have a chicken with a sour crop that will not empty. I’ve given her oils, yogurt, Acv and massaged her crop many times over the last few days and nothing seems to work, her crop is always a full water balloon and she’s getting more and more lethargic each day. I’ve had this hen since I was in...
