I have a 5wk old EE that I think has sour crop. I was out of town from Mon-Wed and when I got back very late last night I just counted heads and went to bed. This morning I found her lethargic. She’s with 9 other chicks who are all acting normally. I had to leave for work early this morning so I couldn’t inspect her thoroughly. I bought Corid and when I got home I started her on that. Then I did an inspection. I found that she has a full and mushy crop so I’ve deduced that she has sour crop. I massaged her crop, top to down, and she did poop.
Questions:
Is there anything I can give her tonight that may help?
How long typically does it take for sour crop to kill a chick? I can buy what I need tomorrow but can’t leave the house tonight to get anything for her.
As you can see, she is an adorable little EE and she is my daughter’s favorite, so I would like to save her if possible.
