Help!!!!!! sour crop!!! I don’t want to lose another bird!

[Show Sebright]

My chicken Maple has a sour crop I think. She pooped the yolk of her egg 2 nights ago. She doesn’t eat and I got her to eat some blueberries and hard boiled egg covered in yogurt. I can’t go to the vet and I don’t want to lose another girl to this infection. She had some green poop yesterday. Now her poop is liquidy and has a solid pease of poop in it. She has been isolated since yesterday afternoon (around 10). I need to get this solved fast because my other chicken has another respiratory infection. And my cat has something wrong and won’t eat eather. What should I do? Pictures below.

Apple cider vinegar is an anti-fungal, and often avian vets will recommend it for cases of sour crop, since sour crop is basically a yeast infection. Oregano oil is a natural antibiotic that can be helpful as well.

Shou I add like a tablespoon to a gallon of water? How do I use the oregano oil? I have dried Oregano for cooking can I use that?

Maybe your animals are all suffering from early cocci, which would explain all those possible symptoms. The egg excretion may be lack of calcium along with cocci. The poop looks like she may have recently stopped eating and if it gets more watery throughout the day, and if she quits eating it is definitely cocci. What does her crop feel like?

Second, the food you are giving them is not normal chicken diet. Eggs, fruit, yogurt I don't know. I only hope you also have some better feed to give them. I don't have egg laying problems with hens, so I only guess it's diet related.

I would treat the water with amprolium (Corrid) for all the animals including the cat, but the dosage is different for the cat. Also I live outside the US, so I don't know the specific directions for using Corrid, but I have had to treat my dogs and chickens simultaneously for cocci before and the vet gave the dogs Amprolium, while I gave my chickens treatments in the water for the cocci.

As for sour crop, maybe make a tea with the oregano and the apple cider vinegar, bjt I don't see evidence of sour crop in your post. No discharges from the mouth, drooling, and you say the crop is emptying normally.
