Hello ,
I have become the on call chick rescuer for my local TSC. I just picked up a leghorn chick (couple days old) with an injured eye & a large crop. I have treated the eye, but wanted to get opinions on crop.
She is eating & active, & pooping, but this crop is thick but movable and feels like chick feed under the skin. I massaged it and gave her a couple drops of olive oil.
The chick feed has chick grit & water has electrolytes & nutridrench in it. I don't think it's sour crop but don't want it to develop into that.
Hoping she's just a lil piggy & eating too much.
Any other thoughts?
