Any ideas what’s going on with this poor baby? :( His crop is HUGE and full of food and water and air. When I picked him up and nudged at it, he threw up a bunch of sludge. It smelled a little bad, but not putrid.
I don’t know how long it’s been happening, but the feathers are rubbed off on the bottom where it touches the ground.

Also, do you think it’s safe to put him back with his siblings? He’s clearly not happy to be separated, so if it’s not contagious I’d rather not keep him lonely. :hmm

Ouchie.
Something isn't working right.
Are you wanting to try to save it?
 
Your yard looks gorgeous! Did you do the railings yourself? I need to redo the ones on my house and those look like the sets I've been eyeing from home Depot.
yes the backyard remodel project started last mother’s day! all the materials came from menards but home depot has similar styles. the decking is rustic grey composite and the rails are 2x4 with plain rectangular 32” bars. 2x6 top cap. I’m hoping to start staining/painting next month
 
If somebody knows what’s wrong and how to fix it and it isn’t too difficult... it’s been a long week and I’m so exhausted, but I’d feel terrible if I just let it die and the cure turned out to be simple. :hmm
I can guess but it will only be a guess.
Something isn't working right. I know that in chickens crop disorders can be cause by coccidiosis or worms.
If I were you I would withhold food until tomorrow and see if it goes down over night.

I'm not sure if I would massage it or not. I'd be too scared I'd accidentally kill it by making it swallow some juice wrong.

I'd actually just have the Mex take care if it for me and then open it up and have a look around.:oops:
