How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

Well I thought Darlin was going to be okay but now I don't know.

Sorry Amy, I hope she gets well soon!

10 yesterday from our 19 birds.

I need some advice on Darlin. She's drinking water but not eating. Her crop is really inflamed and I have pushed on it and she expelled some yuck but she won't eat. Any advice would be so helpful because she's my favorite hen.

Crop Stasis is the condition where the crop no longer empties for whatever reason. I would withhold water and food for 24 hrs and see if the crop actually goes down

Don’t expel any crop contents, it’s way to easy for the bird to aspirate on the fluid, get pneumonia….. crop stasis leads to sour crop; You can try Canestin anti fungal vaginal cream if the crop doesn’t go down. That’s what I and many here use.

I have been battling crop issues here since last summer. Lost a few to it, my one lovely girl Flopsy I fear will pass soon, I cannot resolve it. And I have no idea why I am getting so many with this. I can only treat the symptoms. Sure hope your wee one resolves this.
