I have one of my hens quarantined with a bad case of sour crop.

She had gotten sick a month ago and seemed to have recuperated well from the illness through the use of antibiotics.

I saw her lethargic again around two days ago and she had a bad case of sour crop. Im guessing her going back with her flock after being isolated for a while may have been the cause, as none of my other hens have any signs of issue.

Her poop is VERY liquid and has some green areas. The liquid itself is of a white, clear and cream coloration. These green spots are weird because they're so concentrated that they look black, but they're actually a very bright green.

Earlier today I administered the first dose of Miconazole cream orally to her along side a little bit of boiled egg.

A few minutes ago I tried giving her some egg again as she's very weak and thin, but her crop is so full of liquid she ended up puking out a greenish, foul smelling liquid. (This was right when she was squirming around because I was putting food in her beak, It seemed to have shot out of her crop right as she was moving).

I took out her water in hopes her crop will drain enough to give her some food again as she's malnourished.

Is this the right call? Should I be worried.

Thats what her poop is looking like.

She now has free access to some food and I gave some electrolytes in her water.

Ill review both articles
 
The situation is not looking good. Shes extremely thin and light as of right now.

Her rapid decline is making me wonder when the illness actually started. Seems as if I caught it too late

Im hoping for the best.
