Crop That Won't Empty

[BigBlueHen53]

Did this work for you?

I'm sorry, the last time Piano Chickens was on was 4/26/24. This is an old thread. I suggest you start a new thread of your own in this forum, you're sure to get some responses if you describe what's going on with your chicken. Good luck!

I wish you the best. As I said before, slow crops are usually caused by something farther down the pipe, so to speak. All you can do is try. All of mine with these symptoms have had an underlying illness, often advanced salpingitis. Lost one with an impacted gizzard - found at necropsy. Just lost one today that has had a slow crop, I suspect cancer, but did not necropsy as my heart just wasn't in it today. Crop issues can be frustrating and difficult to narrow down.

@coach723 Could you tell me more about the impacted gizzard? I have a 5 year old girl with a crop that is not emptying. She had it at the exact same time last year (right at the beginning at the molt). The vet last year said it was an impacted gizzard and this year (a different vet) we found Capillaria in her fecal float.
