Ethel is 11 and has been feeling really lethargic and not eating for a couple of weeks. Her crop was really swollen and very soft this morning. I massaged it for less than a minute and all this water and several of these creatures came up.
Are these crop worms ? What do I treat these with ?
Her breathing is OK and she does drink water from our indoor pet water fountain.
She has not eaten any pellets, mealy worms live or dried or anything for a couple of weeks. She is a total free ranger. She has lost weight and just walks around a small area in our back yard. She is an only child (3 chicks arriving Aug 30th)
She definitely feels better since the massage.
My area does not have a chicken vet. After reading the crop articles here, would it be correct for me to begin administering Monistat 3 times a day ?
What can I do for my girlie ????
