Antibiotic, 2 drops of lythromyacin that was suggested to me by tractor supply, orally through her water.What is a "small dose" of antibiotic in the water? Which antibiotic and what dose?
A crop that is not emptying overnight needs to be addressed. https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...w-to-know-which-one-youre-dealing-with.73607/
I agree, at 3 years old, Coccidiosis might be an issue if a bird is unwell, generally they have resistance to what's found in their environment.
The Corid won't hurt anything, but consider getting a fecal float to see if worms are another issue that needs to be addressed as well.
Crop symptoms are often the result of an underlying condition as described by @coach723 in post#18 hopefully she will show some improvement soon.
Well, this morning her crop was normal and she was perky and chipper and showed sings of being back to normal. Then after being back outside for a while she again lost interest in eating and was weirdly shaking her head abnormally. Then I did get a whiff of sour from her gullet. Could worms be a cause of that also??
