Hello! My 1 year old hen is suddenly under the weather today. She is laying down a lot and not eating. Her comb, vent, feet and face all appear normal. No strange odors or parasite I have seen. The only thing I noticed is her crop has a hard mass (feels like it could be feed, oyster shell, grit). She laid a normal egg this morning. I am thinking she might have an impacted crop?
I have given her vegetable oil, massaged the crop and cut off access to feed and other birds.
Any help with diagnosis or treatment is very appreciated! Thank you.
