Discovered a hole in my chicken’s crop tonight after noticing a acrid smell. It was packed with smelly gunk. Got it all cleaned out. Sprayed with Vetrricyn Plus. Soaked gauze in Vetricyn and packed. Covered with more gauze and wrapped her whole chest, under wings. She’s alert. Drinking etc. I can call vet in morning for antibiotics but not sure they’re equipped to stitch her up. Nearest ER vet that does chickens is an hour away. She’s my pet. My companion. She just turned 3 on 5/01. Will she survive? How could this have happened? Fight with her sister? Do they ever erupt?! Please help. Her name is Amelia. Buff Orpington. Thank you, Monica
