Doc Holloway,
Your very eloquent speech will touch the heart of everyone who reads it. You and your family, including your military family, are in our prayers. Thank you for all you do for your family, your chicken friends and for our country. May God keep you safe.

Evening all--ninja post and I have to get to bed earlier than last night! I am in on the early shift tomorrow!

OK...again...my pullet with the sour crop or crop impaction...(not sure yet on diagnosis)

I followed some advice I read on one of Les's PM...I used a small syringe and put 3cc vegetable oil into her crop and massaged for a few minutes. Then Vern turned her over and I gently expressed her crop. She did vomit some stuff up...all soft. No lumps or knots, and NO putrid smell. I felt like a mean person, but I did learn how to do this...as gross as it is!

BUT...her crop was barely changed after I did it. It is still bloated and feels like nothing is in it even when I palpate it firmly. It really just feels like a bunch of air in a balloon. I couldn't find anything in it...and that makes me feel worse because I took the risk of using the syringe to oil her crop. So what could cause just a bunch of air? I am stumped! It seems as though something just doesn't fit!

Oh yeah...her poop looks normal and she even had some cecal poops that looked normal too.

Anyone want to take a guess at it? Les? Anyone? What is this?

Tonight we had some excitement at feeding time...a low flying single engine plane skimmed the top of our house and almost hit the barn! It was a beautiful plane--a very patriotic red white and blue--but he was joy riding! He scared Moni (my draft horse) to death and she almost went through the wall. My old mare took it in stride as she used to be flown over with helicopters all the time as part of electric line maintenance. Good old horse! The chickens were all alarmed as I am sure they were all saying "THAT'S THE BIGGEST HAWK I HAVE EVER SEEN!" As the plane flew on, he rolled a little to the side and I thought he was going to crash in the pasture, but he pulled it up. Rubberdummy!

Well, off to bed I go...g'night all!
