Sour Crop not improving

[chickenherder26]

Hey starting about one week after surgery when I would let her go out her crop would fill up and not empty. It was obvious about two weeks later that the yeast had come back. I knew she didn’t tolerate copper sulfate and the miconazole was worthless. I am a big fan of natural remedies bc pharmaceuticals have failed me so many times both in myself and my chickens. I’ve been using young living essential oregano oil (diluted to a specific strength) along with kyolic garlic as an “antibiotic” for years in lieu of baytril and other drugs that cause liver failure. The results have been great. So when I did a search and oregano popped up as a solution for yeast I used the same recipe but slightly stronger that I already had here. I did it for roughly six days (she was indoors with me for a month after surgery) and the yeast was gone and never came back. She was allowed outside to carefully reacclimate with her sisters after the treatment ended and has been back to herself since. She’s even laying eggs again. Thanks for asking!

What a great ending!

What a great ending!

Yes not typical by any means. I lost two girls this past year that I couldn’t save. I’m very thankful for her.
