Chicken - is this really a Sussex?

[EmmaRainboe]

I’d say faded at 5 yrs old. Also the barring looks more like a BR rather than CM.

Oh, kinda passed over the age. Whoopsies. I agree with Barred Plymouth Rock.

May I ask, how you successfully treated the sour crop? I know everyone has their own methods and I’m curious as to what you did....

Lol... we asked at the same time!

The people you got her off might have had Sussex and gotten them mixed up?? Otherwise not sure why they told you sussex

Yes if not mistaken my mom got her out of a group of Sussex chickens (we currently have one white Sussex and this one) so yes you're right that must have been why.

Can’t tell if her legs are pink or just faded?

Old snd faded IMO. Not in the best condition either

I agree! Definitely a BR (barred Plymouth Rock). She’s so beautiful!!!

Aww thank you a lot! She's fattened up a bit over the past few weeks haha

 

[CHlCKEN]

She’s a BR.

Yes of course . So I made a solution of 10mg/ml of Clotrimazole diluted in water. The Clotrimazole was administered over the course of approx. 7 days (PO - by mouth). The first five days this was given twice a day (20 mg in total) and the last two days approx. 10-12 mg a day. The Clotrimazole brand utilized was the ''CANESTEN GYNO 1'' capsules (containing 500 mg of Clotrimazole in total).

Sour crop? What was your method of treatment. My 2 year old light Sussex girl has sour crop and the treatment I’m using is slowly working but I wanted to know what you used.

Sorry to hear, I hope she will recover in no time . Thank you a lot for your input regarding the breed by the way!

If you want more info I made a post about this a little bit ago that might help you out perhaps: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/how-to-treat-sour-crop-seemingly-effective-updated.1451264/

Best of wishes for her recovery!

Thank you - glad her breed is finally sorted out.

Yeah you're right they are quite full of dirt , also we think she might have a few mites so that has to be checked out.
