i’ve got a four year old hen who is showing absolutely no changes in behaviour, very vocal and alert. however, her crop is squishy and isn’t going down overnight. her poos look completely normal though.
she’s still very interested in food - we kept her off food for 24 hours but her crop didn’t really go down so we’re not just feeding her scrambled egg and yogurt with probiotics, we’ve started mixing a bit of grit in with her food too.
she’s drinking a normal amount and is following us around. we’ve ordered some worming treatment in case this is the cause, looked at lots of different articles but can’t really find anything which really applies to her. she’s cleaning herself often and still got a red comb and wattle.
her crop doesn’t feel like it’s got anything hard in it but we’ve fed her some solidified coconut oil too to try more stuff along.
was just wondering if anyone has any ideas as to what could be the cause? her crop does seem to sag a bit so wondering if maybe it’s pendulous or just slow?
