Chicken’s body has green patch

Glad you were able to see the vet.

I have never heard of crop burn, something new to learn about every day. Thank you for taking the time to update us and give us this information.

I hope your hen recovers quickly.

Just visited the vet and he said that it is crop burn. The possible cause is the chicken ate something slightly hot, and since their crop is very thin, it may burn through it. As I had given the hen some cooked rice (as treats), the vet said that it could be the rice was hot inside while cold outside, especially microwave rice. My hen was given antibiotics and hopefully the wound (green patch) will heal soon. Would like to share this knowledge with you all. Thanks again for all your help.

Wow I’ve never heard of that before but I’m glad you took her to the vet and got it sorted, thanks for sharing.

Did your hen have any burns to the tongue, inside the beak or esophagus?

No burn to the tongue or beak. However the burn is found in the esophagus. Going vet is quite costly in australia as it cost $75 for consultation and $65 for medicine. Not sure if it is more expensive in other country?

Those prices would probably be comparable to here in the States, a lot depends on where you live, prices vary by county.

Hi Everyone, lately, the chicken is recovering and we send the chicken for a second check up ($65) as the wound seem to be bigger. Luckily, it is just part of healing process and the green colour is just the way chicken heal up in compare to human healing up. I just need to be patient and giving the medicine. Doctor say it take at least 2 weeks or more to heal up.
