Hello to everyone!! We are very proud new owners to of a flock of 18 Chickens!! This is our first time raising Chickens and have a lot to still learn. Unfortunately we have already had a death in the flock, one of our Chicks have an impacted crop. We tried everything in the book, but when we finally found the trick to dislodge the impaction, it was too late. Well now we know. We massaged this poor thing for three days and fed and watered it with a syringe, but she was just too weak to make it. So now we know if something isn't right to take swift action! But everybody else is doing great and I look forward to watching them grow and grow!!
and Welcome To BYC! So sorry about the chick you lost, impacted crops can be really tricky, glad the rest of the girls are doing OK. You might like to check out your state thread for chicken keeping neighbors
