huge crop impaction

[msshepherdess]

One of my older hens - probably 5 yrs. old, has a crop impaction like I've never seen before. It's as big as she is. What should I do?

Are you sure it is impacted? not pendulous crop?

Here's a thread about crop surgery. You can do a BYC search for pendulous crop.

I think I'd go to the vet, before I'd try surgery myself.

Imp is a little squeamish

Good luck
