    Hen with swollen watery crop, not eating or pooping

    Big Bertha is a nearly 2 year old red sex link. Two days ago we noticed she wasn't really eating. Her crop was big and squishy and she was kind of burping and moving her neck funny. We checked her crop yesterday morning and it wasn't any smaller. When I picked her up, she spit out some brown...

    Squishy crop, but no smell and is empty in the morning

    New chicken keeper here! I have a 9-month-old Australorp whose crop is squishy at night. I noticed it two evenings ago as I put our hens to bed. However, earlier that day and the next, she was running around with the flock, happily eating, scratching, and free-ranging. Even though she was...

    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...

    Is this sour crop?

    Is this sour crop? It’s very squishy.. I’ve been massaging it every hour or so.. I went out of town and came back to this. Poor chick seems so uncomfortable, you can see she’s puffed out and her head is tucked in. I’ve separated her and have been giving her water only.. she also has pretty green...

    Can chickens have soft squishy crop, that isnt a medical issue?

    Ive never had chickens with doughy crop before, but my silky rooster's crop felt awfully squishy tonight. I plan to check him over first thing in the morning, but I was wondering if it was possible his crop just happens to be a bit squishy, or if I should just start looking into doughy crop...

    If anyone can help I would so appreciate it - I’m desperate here, I have no idea what is wrong with my hen! She’s about 6.5 months old, and not yet started to lay eggs. She free ranges in my backyard with 10 other chickens, none of whom show any signs of illness. I first noticed that my one...

    Squishy crop

    I notice that several of my chickens crop feels squishy, but it still empties at night and I haven’t noticed any other sick symptoms. Is it ok for a crop to feel squishy as long as it’s clear in the morning and the bird is acting and eating normally? Is there any other diagnosis besides...

    Soft squishy crop and open mouth breathing, please help!

    Hi everyone, I think my hen has a sour crop? Her crop is squishy this morning and for the last couple days she has been breathing with her mouth open. What should I do to treat her? I stopped feeding her solid food and have only given her plain yogurt. She doesn't seem like she's been eating...

    Squishy crop need help

    I have an 8 month old pullet who I noticed about 2 days ago has a very full crop. The first day I noticed it she had really bad breath but by the second day her breath doesn't smell at all. The day I noticed it she had been out foraging all over my property. As far as her behavior she acts...

    Rooster was lethargic and a squishy crop.

    Our one rooster for our flock of 6, Johnny Ringo, wasn't acting himself last night and when I picked him up to check for injury (there weren't any) I noticed that his crop felt like a water balloon. He was still eating, drinking, and pooping and we were going to take him to the vet this...

    Lethargic hen with pale comb

    Hi everyone. We have a very ill hen on our hands and we just do not know what is wrong. She has been very lethargic lately and just lays down under our deck and closes her eyes. Only getting up and scratching occasionally. It has been awfully hot and humid but the other girls seem to be doing...
