Hi all. I am a first time chicken keeper in my hens are about 7 months old. they have just started laying eggs. One of my hens is definitely dealing with sour crop. I have made sure it’s not an egg bound issue. She is drooling water, watery diarrhea, lethargic and soft squishy crop. We isolated her last night (withholding food and water) and have been massaging her crop. We would prefer not to make her throw up until last resort bc of aspiration risks. She has been pooping a lot which I’m hoping is a good sign? We checked on her first thing this morning and her crop has gone down a bit this morning but still a little squishy. She seems a little more perky too. Her poop from over night starting to look a bit more normal. We gave her a little water with ACV and I am going to start her on unsweetened Greek yogurt. Any advice? Thanks in advance!
