Glad she's better! You did a great job on treating her! Here's a good article about sour and impacted crop incase you need it some other time.->

Thanks for the link Tookie!
Always handy...but hopefully that was the last time. (I hope I haven't jinxed myself in saying that!)

Hello everyone,
My name is Patti and I am a frequent visitor to your posts here on your forum! I want to thank all of you for providing such a wealth of information, ready help, and generous willingness to guide me and my husband Walter through our Chicken adventures! And many adventures we have had!

We have two hens (number three passed last spring). They have had several issues. We have had a long-term pecking problem, an egg-bound problem, shell-less egg problem, a broken toe at the nail, yolk peritonitis, and our latest issue, sour crop. Oh boy! We thankfully had your forum member posts to guide us to positive outcomes in every one of these challenges.

I'm sure that you now think that we are the negligent owners who have no right to own backyard chicken! That is really not the case. This is not our first batch of hens and had never experienced any issues at all! Despite the sleepless nights, hours of panic, and, yes, even a couple of tears, we love our little hens!

I have joined this forum to hopefully share our knowledge on how we have managed our emergencies and difficulties.

Thanks again for such a nice community!
Patti
