Hi everyone,
my eight year old hen seems To be having some massive crop problems.
throughout the end of last year into this year she has been having to come in to be treated for sour crop and about two weeks later she would be back in for it.
at the beginning of last week, she started to show signs of crop problems so I brought her in and she is still inside with a slow crop. Orginally last week i was able to get her crop down to a very small size but then she kept eating and it went back to being full and it has been slowly digesting. her crop is still quite big, little smaller than tennis ball but it is complete liquid and she does eat eggs and lettuce and things like that still but her crop isn’t digesting.
her poops have been very liquidy.. I will get a picture tomorrow, but after she eats and all she still have liquid poop with a bit of green since it seems like she isnt eating even though she is.
also, I am not sure how to describe but at the base of where the wings begin and by the neck, there are these pockets in every chicken, and on one of hers, it kinda inflates when I squeeze her crop with air.
i Should be receiving a crop bra tomorrow to see if that hopefully helps but she is losing weight still even though she drinks and eats.
my main questions are: could she have another problem going that could cause green in her poop (I know it is a sign of not eating but anything else?) because she does eat but is doesn’t show up in her poop.
what else could I do with what problems I have listed, besides a crop bra?
i know that with age she can have some more serious problems inside her like digestive but I am hoping the crop bra helps
any advice would be great!
