I’m at my wits end , with a crop problem a black rock hen, iv no idea how old she is but I recused her a couple of years ago, I first noticed the problem after about a week, when I fed the hens some greens, since then I watch what she eats, but it would just keep coming back , full watery crop, I seem to be able to control , but over the last 3 weeks , it’s really got bad, she has what they call a (pendulum) crop, so it’s really slow in emptying, iv been snowed in and the hens have been inside there coop, so the corn / mealworms have been put into dishes in the coop, so the black hen had pigged out on the corn, her crop this morning must been at least 2 handfuls big , iv empty as much as I could out, Iv put a crop bra on her and just given her some guardian angle and locked her in a cat carrier inside the coop. Not sure if it’s turn yeasty as she was on medicine for that a week ago,
Iv not allowed her to feed today as there must be still a handful of corn in her crop, which just wouldn’t come up, what do I do next? I’m in a panic about leaving her in a carrier as the weather is so bad, do I give her some pellets withbwarm water on to soften them up , in the morning, after I most probably will have to make her vomit .
Her vomit this morning was like a slush puppy drink, her crop was pretty cold( think she been eating snow, then it was a beige colour filled with corn. This is a picture of her crop last week , she was on medication for 5 days for yeast infection, but this morning it was bigger then this .
