10 Week old light brahma hen with abdominal straining

[FarmBoy0214]

She's still alive. Poop looked pretty normal and solid. Though her crop was still semi full this morning. Possibly suffering from Pendulous crop?

I would hope a 10week old bird doesn't have Pendulous Crop.

I'll ask again - what type of food/treats is she eating and does she have grit available?

I would lean toward her having a slow crop if it's still semi-full in the morning before she eats/drinks. Crop issues are sometimes a symptom of an underlying condition. Can you take a stool sample to your vet for testing?

No treats maybe occasional vegetables. She's on Purina start and grow crumbles non-medicated. Does seem like a slow crop because it was semi-full. I can contact the vet that's here. Only vet on the island. I can give her some free choice grit as well.

Is her crop emptying better?

If she's eating veggies, then she needs grit
