Interesting using the dog harness. Pictures of that, when you get a chance would be really interesting! Sounds like she is feeling good, so that is a good thing.

Oh yes, I’m still following, just waiting for my next problem bird. And it seems like I found her this morning. I noticed my S Sussex had an unusually large crop last night at roosting time and by golly it still was this morning when the pop door opened. I quickly grabbed her up and started feeling of her crop. All I could feel was a hard ball so I went to the house and got some coconut oil that I’ve had in the fridge. As I started getting her to eat/drink it I began massaging her crop. With the help of the oil and massage, I began feeling what seemed like a butt load of grit, large pieces of grit. The chickens free range so there’s no telling what she’s picked up. Hopefully nothing that won’t go through.For those of you following -
Now, after knowing what could be in front of me (I really hope not, but...) I am wondering how you sutured her (crop and skin). Most articles that I’ve read only talk about using super glue on both places. Do you actually use a suture needle and “what” kind of thread? I’m just trying to prepare myself. Thank you for your response.I got her sutured up without incident
You can buy sutures on line, amazon has them, an assorted set is about $16 depending on what you get. For the crop itself you would need absorbable sutures, you could use non-absorbable for the skin and remove once healed. You can even buy kits with practice pads to practice suturing if you are so inclined.Now, after knowing what could be in front of me (I really hope not, but...)

Well I never. They make everything these days, don’t they?!? This is good to know. Thank you very much.You can even buy kits with practice pads to practice suturing if you are so inclined.
