I have got some questions about two of my hens

[aurimilky]

I have now talked to my mum about the vet. My mum and gran both said no about the vet as it costs too much money, for just one hen.

The black hen was drooling from her beak before I wormed her.

As well as her drooling water. Her also has a dirty butt each day, all day and night.

Here is some info on chickens crop...you can feel it right above their breast. It will feel soft and squishy like when full and should be empty first thing in the morning if it is working correctly. If the crop is hard it may be impacted. With water coming out of it's beak could be sour croup..this has some good info. Good luck

Ok I've now checked my black chicken's crop, when I let them out. Her crop is full.

Was this this morning? Her crop shouldn't be full in the mornings.

I have now given my chickens some chicken grit, to help the black chicken's crop. I looked later in the day she had not used the grit. My mom and brother have both had a look at her and they both say that she is very fin.

Yes that's right her crop was full in the morning and is still full right now, even though I have given her grit, she hasn't used it.

My brother has just put some water down her beak and I have massaged the crop to make her sick to clean out her crop, but thing come out of her beak. Her crop is very full.
