Impacted crop

[chickenenthusiasts5698]

Not sure on her weight i’d guess she’s underweight. Probably roughly softball.

I offered her some food with grit yesterday but she didn’t eat it.

No food, just water!

That tube is perfect! Did you melt the end?

This look ok?

Can you post a picture of her?

Bless you @azygous.

@chickenenthusiasts5698 I have a rooster that had a pendulous crop from day one causing sour crop. He was one of 4 chickens I had just gotten as my very first flock ever. I was a mega-newbie. He got me through it. Rooppecca is now 2 years and 3 months old and wears a bra. Without @azygous I never would have been able to save Roopecca. You and your chickens have the best mentor(s) here. This site is a gem. The very best of luck to you. You can do this.

I will second this post. It is so very true.

I’ll be tubing her by myself. My mom thinks i’m being absolutely ridiculous trying to help this poor little pullet (that i’ve raised from a chick) so of course I don’t want to see her pass. Here’s the pictures of her.

And do droppings. I’m really worried about doing this myself but I don’t have a choice. She’s still very alert and her comb is still a beautiful red color

Her crop is really soft today almost sort of liquidity

What is the size of that turd? It's important. When you photograph poop or have something that came out of a chicken other than poop, (you'd be surprised what can emerge from a chicken's butt) place a coin or a ruler next to it for scale.

It appears the poop is scant and hard.

I wonder if her crop is going yeasty.
