Hello, I've been lurking BYC for a long time, I recently made an account trying to help my Maran hen, Tilly who is suffering from sour crop. (Still need replies if anyone could help)

I've had chickens since I was ten years old, so 28 years now. As a child I kept a larger flock of around 30, in my 20s-early 30s I kept two rescue roosters, and now in my 30s I keep 3 disabled hens (Mab an Ayam Cemani crossbeak, and Miss Honey and Mae Mae, two partially blind Ameraucana hens), and my Maran Tilly, who is usually my healthy hen, but has been suffering with sour crop and possibly pendulous crop. I also keep a few sweet little jumbo coturnix quails.

I live in SE Michigan and keep my birds only as pets (we do eat their eggs too, but that isn't why I have them). Happy to meet everyone, but wish it wasn't under such sad circumstances.

Welcome to BYC!! Sorry about your hen-hope she's doing ok.

So sorry about Tilly Losing a beloved chicken can break our hearts. It's the other ones now that will help make up for it.

We're glad you're here!

Thank you, I really appreciate it. I did end up following this, but sadly Tilly just passed away a few minutes ago. I let her visit her sisters and then held her as she passed. I'm sorry to join on such sad circumstances.

Hello! Welcome to BYC! So sorry you lost Tilly... Losing one of our feathered friends is always tough...
