Full squishy crop in the morning and watery/bloody stools

I agree, I'd probably treat for all 3 too, and yes, you can give the coconut oil too. When dealing with a crop symptom, I always give coconut oil in addition to any other appropriate treatment.

I'm glad you are seeing a little improvement.


Don't freak out.

Do your hens also have Fowl Pox?

I'm just now seeing some lesions on the combs and wattles. Are there any lesions or pasty material inside the beaks or just some scabbing/lesions on the facial tissues/wattles/combs?

I think they may have fowl pox as well. At first I couldn’t tell if it was peck wounds or not…but there are more scabs on more of the chickens now. They don’t have anything inside their beaks, just the scabs on their combs/wattles/and ears. Mosquitoes have been bad lately. They started showing the scabs a few weeks before getting sick looking. Egg production didn’t drop until these last few days when they started showing signs of full crop and being lethargic.

Would this have any effect on the treatment and outcome of whatever else we have going on?

They all made it through the night, but my one girl who is feeling the worst is staying in the coop. She’s laying with her head low to the ground and eyes closed. The other two are moving around but still look like they don’t feel good. Their crops are still full. Besides coconut oil, is there anything I should be doing to help drain? I’m still worried about impaction, but don’t know how to help them clear it without making it worse.

I noticed some yellow/white in their droppings from overnight. One long tube looking thing (3rd picture)…could that be a worm?

We just lost the second one. She’s was in the nesting boxes and we went to give her medicine. Liquid starting pouring out of her mouth. When we put her down, she flopped to one and starting flopping around and died. The medicine we just gave her came out of her eyes. Did I drown this one too, or was it just part of dying?
