Advice Needed - Treat for Impacted Crop?

[TwoCrows]

If her crop was completely empty this morning, no I wouldn't give her another tab. No need to throw anything off balance in the system that doesn't need it.

But yes, probios are great for keeping sour crop from forming and keeps the intestinal tract healthy.

Great job with her and keep us posted should she need more help!!

Thanks!! I'm glad she's better too. I hope it continues!

What size would you recommend? 18? I'm kind of unsure on what sizes to get.

The sizes I use most are 8 (baby birds and newly hatched fowl), 14 for juvenile fowl, 18 for anything over 500 grams, and the 30 when I want to save money and tube crumbles instead of Kaytee Baby Bird Food. In your case, with the hen in this thread, I would have used an 18 to give her water.
