Impact Crop????

[scrapmom5]

I have been reading many threads on the site and love what I've learned until I came to the Emergencies/diseases/injuries and cures section.

Now I am terrified for my fine feathered friends

I want to know what these diseases look like so I can be prepared if my hens get these...my problem is impact crop sounds like you have an insect infestation in the garden (not really a chicken issue). Could some of you all post pictures and or discribe what they are?

What is Impact crop???

What is Lice, mites, etc???

What else should I be aware of???

How common are theses???

Can someone just reassure me that my hens will live long and be great family members?

HELP!
