Can you get photos of her, the concern of the eyes and her poop?Hey
I got this australorp and she has what I believe to be pendulum crop? But around her eyes are also a pale pink almost grayish. What should I be looking for or ????? To help her out
HelloCan you get photos of her, the concern of the eyes and her poop?
I'd re-check her crop to see if it's emptying overnight. Sometimes a crop can look really full during the day when the hen has been eating/drinking, but it will empty during roosting.
How old is she and what do you feed?
If the crop is not emptying, then you'll want to address that symptom. Sometimes a crop bra is needed as well if treatment is not going well. This article will help you access what treatment is needed.

In the morning her crop is smaller but still hanging. It's soft and squishy like a water balloon kinda. Yes she is new to me. She lays small brown eggs every couple days. I will look her over for bugs and will check out the link.Is she new to you?
I'd re-check her crop first thing, if it's not emptied, then I'd begin treatin as sour crop since she seems to itch at it. She may also benefit from a crop bra. Instructions on how to make one are in the article I linked.
Do look her over for lice/mites.
Does she lay eggs?
Australorps have white skin, so she may be a bit pale if she's not in lay or an older hen.
I will also try to get a better pic with her hanging cropIs she new to you?
