drinking excessive water

[sjsteinhauser]

My production red has been quite listliss the last several days, now she is not eating, drinking excessive amounts of water so her gullet is quite large, and just either stands or lays around. I am not sure what is going on, any thoughts???

She may have sour crop if it is large and squishy. This can be from having impacted crop recently, and can be bacterial or fungal. Giving water, probiotics, very soft foods such as yogurt, applesauce, soft eggs, and antifungal drugs such as Nystatin or Medistatin may help. The chicken chick.com has a good link on crop issues if you Google it. There are many good threads here on BYC as well if you search at thetop of this page.
