Enlarged Crop

[judygmckee]

I have 6-month old Golden Comets and one of them has a swollen crop. It sounds like sour crop except it does not smell. She seems to eat a lot & her poop seems normal except when I fed her some coconut oil & it was runny. I am a first time chicken owner & I want to help her if I can. She is weighed down in the front a lot. Can anyone help?

There are more than one type of crop disorders and they are each treated differently. Here is my article that teaches the different tyoes and how to identify and treat each. https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...w-to-know-which-one-youre-dealing-with.73607/

You will almost never smell sour crop. Impacted crop has a horrible smell. Pendulous crop never has a smell. They are all treated differently.
