Chicken neck/gizzard enlarged - Need Help?

[kryptoniteqhs]

mind if i ask what happened to her? is she ok?

One of my buff orpingtons crop is VERY full....the size of a softball. Scary. I can feel the grain in it. I'm guessing something is lodged and blocking food from passing. I've heard crops can burst which is fatal for chickens but I need help. I've tried messaging it but what else can I do to help move things along? Is there something I can feed her? Yogurt...etc? Help. Thx

Welcome to BYC. Very carefully, check her vent with a well lubed, gloved finger for a blockage there. If you don't find one there, it's probably higher up. You might also want to start your own thread, you'll probably get more help that way.
