Hi everyone,
My sweet hen Penny has an ongoing sour crop but recently started having unusual poops. I was very worried about her because she wasn’t preening, eating or drinking water and her crop was really bloated. She ended up having a very unusual poop (see pictures). I have never seen anything like this and I have had chickens for 10+ years. I assumed it was a sign of “off” egg development but she hasn’t laid for 9 months. She has had 3 of these poops all with weird behavior and symptoms leading up. I’ve attached pictures.
She is 3.5 years old and is a primarily inside chicken because she acts as a ESA. I don’t want her to suffer but I don’t also want to cull her if she can be helped. The vet advised me to get her a crop support
If you have ever seen this or dealt with this I would really appreciate hearing how you dealt with this issue. Currently she is on a low carb diet to reduce her yeast crop growth.
