It's ok. I think I figured it out. She's still alive. She's stopped gasping. But it doesn't look good. She def has sour crop. She is resting in a crate in my bathroom.
Sending you virtual hugs and prayers. I've had some problems here too and I understand your frustration and feeling like your doing it all wrong. Seems like the saying "when it rains, it pours" is fitting unfortunately.

I am so discouraged right now. Nothing is going right with my flock right now. I have a cockerel with a limp, 3 broodies who I need to break, Bryony with this issue, developing problems with predators, 2 chicks with "special needs," Poppy seems to have a chronic illness, and the feed store is out of my feed of choice again.
Gaaaahhhh!!!
Glad to hear she hasn't taken a turn for the worst. Sorry to hear you are having issues with others as well.It's ok. I think I figured it out. She's still alive. She's stopped gasping. But it doesn't look good. She def has sour crop. She is resting in a crate in my bathroom.

She's hanging in there. She's sleeping in the crate. I've treated sour crop before. I am more concerned about the aspiration at the moment. I'll withhold food and water from her tonight and see if the crop empties some by morning. I'm SUPER afraid of aspiration because I accidentally killed my Jessamine by picking her up gruffly when she had a crop full of liquid. It was a sad and painful death. I'm afraid of it happening again to Bryony, esp if I were to try vomiting her.
I'm so sorry! Hope your girl will be back to 100% health soon!It's ok. I think I figured it out. She's still alive. She's stopped gasping. But it doesn't look good. She def has sour crop. She is resting in a crate in my bathroom.
