Hello.
My sister discovered one of her hens standing in the same spot next to the water dispenser everytime she checked in on her.
We started reading on what it could be, and she asked her group on FB that said it was probably Sour Crop. (im hoping this is the right name in english!)
As instructed, she took the hen out and put her in a cage alone and gave her nothing but water for 12 hours hoping it would solve itself,
but it did not.
She then gave her some food oil but it doesnt seem to help any either.
We are now starting to get pretty anxious since we dont know what to do to help her..
Hoping maybe someone here could try make sense of what type of Crop issue it could be? Since we understand there are multiple different types. And different treatments..
Heres information!
• The hen is about 1.5years old,
• Has just started molting (know this could be why she's exchausted, but that shouldnt affect the crop, right?)
• Was just broody for a couple weeks.
• She doesnt want water or food.
• Her crop feels doughy.
• Tried to feel her abdomen and it feels pretty big and soft.. bad sign?
• She has diarreah.
• Do not smell anything bad from her beak..
Please help!
