The past few days I noticed one of my hens (a RI red) staying away from the rest of the flock. She would always be the last out of the coop in the morning, and a few of the other hens would peck her and attack her when she would get near them. I then noticed she had clear, watery poop. Also would have some greenish diarrhea as well. I brought her inside, gave her clean water with electrolytes. Her crop seems a little full, and I have been massaging it every so often. However she still is doing small little green poops (where I have read it means she isn't passing food through) and the crop hasn't changed in size. I read that I should try to empty the crop myself, but I'm not exactly sure how to go about this and I don't want to hurt her. What should I be doing next? I appreciate any help.
Hi Welcome To BYC Crop issues can be a symptoms of an underlying condition like Cocci, worms or internal laying/reproductive disorders. If you can take a poop sample to your vet for testing that would be a good idea. For treatment options this article is very good. I recommend that you read it through completely before you attempt to empty the crop or begin a course of treatment. https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/impacted-slow-and-sour-crops-prevention-and-treatments
