Sour crop

[Linda Kolosik]

I have 3 of 11 chickens of my flock born 2/1/17 Road Island Reds - all three have the soft crop (feels like a water balloon) I found one dead this morning. I went on line and found your group and joined. I will isolate the other two and put vinegar water in the cage and offer food (yogurt). When i fed this morning and found the one dead chick, the other two large crop chicks were the first to attack the the food i spread out for them

That's terrible. I'm really sorry to hear this.
