Impacted crop on underweight hen

[Ccort]

She just vomited on herself.

Oh dear. Did she at least get out what caused the obstruction?

No. It was just liquid and her crop is still quite full. Starting to wonder if I should make her vomit?

I started her on the yeast infection cream today. There's really no room in her crop to give extra food/water.

Could there be a connection between the leg issue and the crop issue/thinness? Marek’s disease can cause internal tumors in the organs and leg paralysis.

I hope not.

Her leg isn't paralyzed but I'm not sure if this happens gradually in Mareks? My girls are vaccinated, for what it's worth

Mine never felt like liquid. Never got sour either. Felt crunchy.. like grain. Happens yearly to my EE when she molts.

Mine is molting and squishy. Not emptying over night hard in morning. I knew molting had something to do with it

When moulting their entire metabolism slows down and so does their crop function which leads to slower emptying.
