Hi there! We've been keeping chickens for several years and this is a new one... We live in Costa Rica where "clean" feeding options are limited. I found what I thought would be good feed, the birds were eating it up and I noticed today several have what appears to be impacted crop. The feed is a mix of broken up corn, fish meal pellets and several other whole, but small seeds. I stopped giving it to them today, but looking for any advice to move forward and help them. I'm thinking of soaking some ground feedd with coconut oil and the like for them tomorrow then trying to massage each ones crop then?! Any other ideas are welcome. There are 25 birds in the flock!
