Hi all,
I have two silkie chicks that have sour crop. I didn’t handle them much for about a week and when I did they were super skinny and light…basically just feathers and skin. I know it’s completely my fault for not paying as much attention as I should, but I need some help. One has a squishy and gassy crop, the other is better, with a crop them at feels normal. I read to use diluted ACV for treatment, and to let their crop empty for 12hrs. Then basically give ACV for the next couple days. They’re so skinny I don't think they could handle a couple days without food. What should I do? I read that plain Greek yogurt is good. How can I make sure they’re getting food, but also treating the sour crop?
*pic of the two in question. The white is the worst of the two.
