Thanks. I ordered the set on Amazon and it should arrive on Friday.Since the crop is moving in a fashion, I would suggest the Epsom salts crop flush. If there are yeast spores still in residence, the Magnesium sulfate will kill those. It requires tube feeding, which is very easy with the instructions I will give you. Ask your vet to sell you a feeding kit for a small animal, about $5. Then I will instruct you on the procedure once you have it.
Should I set her up in a dog crate when I do the flush to control what foods she has access to?
I hope so. She's still a young hen, so I was hoping the pendulous crop wouldn't be permenant.The flush takes three days and will scour her from beak to butt. After she's cleaned out, her crop should shrink down to normal size in a couple weeks. But a crop bra at night would be a good idea until it shrinks.
