    Sour Crop or Something More Serious?

    Hi all, One of our lovely girls has a suspected case of sour crop, but I'm worried it may be something worse. The right side of her chest, where the crop is, is very enlarged to about the size of a tennis ball, I'd say. She is big for a hen and hasn't started laying even though she's about 7...

    Chick has air and “jell” in puffy crop

    I have a Black Copper Marans that is about 2 months old. She has a huge swollen crop, with the water balloon feel, and has been this way for about a month. I’ve done everything I’ve read to do - massage it, burp her, feed her oil, apple cider vinegar, oregano, grit. Her brother had something...

    Swollen crop: Is it always a bad thing?

    I have several young pullets, about 2.5 mos old. The last few nights, when I have to manually move them all from roosting on top of their old coop (for the babies...) into the big coop, they all seem to have a swollen or full crop, to some extent anyway. Everyone seems to be pooping, they have...

    [Pics] Swollen Air Sac / Crop (Possibly subcutaneous emphysema?)

    After getting trampled, a turken chick of mine had ballooning in his air sac and crop. At first I assumed it was sour crop but massaging while he was upside down did nothing, and nothing came out either. I looked it up on BYC and I think it was subcutaneous emphysema, so I followed advice given...

    Starved chicks... one dead and one with enlarged crop!!

    I will preface by saying that I am really screwed up... I start with the story of what happened and end with my plead for help. We purchased two three week old splash silkie chicks to add to our flock of juvenile silkies from a wonderful small local hatchery. They supplied us with what we...

    Bloated abdominal area and crop - help!

    We have had a very hot and humid week here in VT, and noticed today that one of our girls didn’t greet us to be fed this morning. This was odd, since she was acting completely normal (visually, and eating and drinking) yesterday. Today when we brought her inside (we thought maybe heat stress, we...

    Chicken with extremely swollen chest

    i have a black silkie hen just over a year old with a huge swollen squishy chest. I do not think it is an impacted crop because it is very soft. It is huge almost half the size of the hen. She has always been smaller than the other birds. I just noticed this today it seems warm to the touch but...

    Swollen crop from overeating? Or something else?

    Hey guys, our little 6 day old Australorp seems to have developed a large growth on the right side of her chest. It has been noticable for about 12 hours. After researching on here seems it could just be a swollen crop from eating too much, however after looking at diagrams it seems like it's a...

    Hello! I am new to the community, however I've been enjoying advice from BackYard Chickens for quite some time. About 5 days ago my 2 year old hen (White Ameraucana) slowed her food intake and has been drinking excessive amounts of water for 5-15 minutes at a time. For the past 2 days she has...
