Our hen "Blue" had a bad case of sour crop, her 2nd case but this one was worse. We cured the last case with just helping her vomit, yogurt and BioK(probiotic drink from health food store). But this time we had to use the miconazole just as described in the big thread all about sour crop & stuff. She was so weakened that it took her about a week before she started acting normal and happy again. She is able to roost, eat and drink and digest and poop, BUT she has not layed any eggs, I feel one in there (from
the outside) two days ago she got very grouchy she started a fight with our chihuahua which she has NEVER done. Luckily I was right there to stop it before anyone got hurt. That day I noticed that her oviduct looked very large and swollen so I gave her a warm bath and sprayed olive oil on her little swollen bum, where the eggs & poop come out. I had to go to back to school night right after that an hour and half later I came back and she wasn't swollen anymore but was bending over and plucking herself where she was still abit wet from the bath & oil. I looked everywhere and could not find any of her eggs. It has now been ten days since she last layed an egg. She acted like she might moult the day she was really grouchy but that stopped she is acting completely normal except she hasn't layed any eggs that I know of.... & I have looked EVERYWHERE for eggs. Is this cause for me to worry ? I really hope not we love our little Blue bird!!!
