Well, my pullet had a couple of days where she was looking bad. Tail hanging down, etc. Then she perked up and looked really good, she even dust bathed. I thought she turned the corner and would make it. She laid down, tucked her head in and died yesterday. She was still eating and drinking, so I think she just didn't have enough body weight to recover.

I will try the copper solution again if I have any other birds exhibit crop issues. Unfortunately, I think this pullet was too far gone before I caught it.

Did you send her in for Necropsy?

Sorry to hear this.

No, I've got a bunch of stuff on my plate right now, so no time for a necropsy. I'm confident it was crop related and not something more serious.

Thanks Mike.

Sorry to hear that Kelly, sounds like at least she felt better and it doesn't sound like she was suffering.

She looked very peaceful.

Odd thing in my bee yard today. I think one of my hives swarmed and took over another hive. Just another way that when you think you know something, the bees tell you you don't know a darn thing. You can read about it here if you like:
