Hi, this afternoon I noticed my pullets chest was swollen and she was acting a little strange. She is 10 weeks. I've been reviewing posts on this forum and
I believe she has a sour crop. She has been eating fine although she is notably smaller than her 6 counterparts. She pooped solid (mostly black)when I was first checking her
out. I massaged her crop while holding her forward and got her to expell quite abit, although the crop is still swollen. I also gave her some bread soaked in olive
oil which she gobbled up quickly. I massaged her again and returned her with her friends. After feeding her the oiled bread, she pooped again, but this time it was
rather runny and white. I'm just wondering what else I need to do and if shes eating pellet food and drinking normally can I keep her in with the others??
Thanks!!
