Hello BYC
Unfortunately, a tree fell on one half of our coop, so with the birds sectioned off into the adjacent room the conditions have been a little tighter and dustier than normal.
About a month back one of my hens started exhibiting the symptoms of sour crop. I got her on Monistat and she got better in a couple of weeks, so I put her back in with the flock.
She had been sneezing, but I attributed that to her crop being full of fluid and the smaller living space. Until now, she was a little slower than her usual perky self, but apart from that was acting normal apart from the occasional sneeze.
This evening I noticed her stumbling, and she let me pick her up, which is not the norm for her personality. She’s lost a bit of weight and is squinting her eyes.
I’ve separated her from the rest of the flock and gave her a bit of straw to scratch in and water, I’m going to check her crop in the morning and will get a picture of her poop.
This one has me scratching my head. I’m looking into the deworming dosage for her as well as the rest of the flock, and potentially treating her with Corid, but I haven’t seen any bloody poops.
Any help will be much appreciated!
