Hi gang,
This is Fluffy:
https://www.loom.com/share/048b369018c949debd252a2c7dd82e76
Fluffy is rude as hell.
We got 2 Australorp pullets that she bullies around and muscles them off food. This part makes her eat a lot, which I think is somewhat how we wound up where she is now.
Her crop is HUGE so I was sure she had sour crop. I isolated her and drained it by inducing vomiting - and it was stinky and filled with grain. Over the next few days that I starved her the crop reduced in size and I put her on a dewormer and water+apple cider vinegar in case its bacterial. She was fed greek yoghurt, for its probiotics and a multivitamin.
I've reintroduced her to the coop now and within a day her crop is MASSIVE again. I have felt it, and it feels like mostly liquid or gas. Her sister who is in the video has a little crop like a golf ball, while Fluffy's is like 2 tennis balls across her chest.
This is now 2 weeks of her not laying (I'm fairly certain).
Does anyone have any ideas?
