Crop issue?

[AwesomeChickenGuy]

I don't know if this is an emergency, but one of my chickens has a crop that feels like there's only water in it, and the poop has some yellow in it?

Crops should contain food and water during the day. To diagnose a crop issue, check the crop first thing in the morning before having anything to eat. The crop should be flat and empty after 12 hours no food / water.

Ok

Hi!

Hope your chicken is doing better. Have you taken her to the vet yet and/or is her crop still feeling like its filled with liquid?

If so and if other symptoms are present (that correspond with sour crop) it might be a case of sour crop; if this is indeed the case it should be treated as soon as possible.

I wrote a post about this (regarding sour crop - titled ''HOW TO TREAT SOUR CROP - SEEMINGLY EFFECTIVE - UPDATED'') - and perhaps it may help you a bit to compare the symptoms; which would seem more helpful than me fitting everything on this post.

Hope your chicken will be doing better in no time.

It feels soft, but the chicken doesn’t seem like she has crop issues. I think it’s something she ate?
