Hi all - I successfully treated one of my hens for sour crop, but there still seems to be a small lump in her crop.
I suspect it’s a piece of impacted ick, but I’m not sure what I should do next.
She looks much better and is up and around with her sisters - eating and drinking well. I haven’t been able to track down HER poop, but it all looks pretty normal (I have eight other girls).
Still massaging, using coconut oil, ACV in her water, offering grit.
Any other suggestions or advice to help break it up for digestion?
Thanks in advance 🥰

When are you checking her crop?

Small lump, is it hard, pliable, doughy? Can it be manipulated or broken up when you massage?
