Swollen/hard crop in hen being treated with Amoxicillin

Keep me posted on how she's doing.

The coconut oil and crop massage is helping! Her crop is much softer now! Still doing the antibiotics as well...hopefully she’ll be free of troubles once finishing them

Glad to hear the crop is softening.
I would give her probiotics since she's on antibiotics.

Quick update: the antibiotics seem to be helping...droppings appear normal. This is her taking a dust bath, happy as can be! Coconut oil seemed to solve her crop problem as well! She’s back to her normal self, eating and drinking well and enjoying her life.
We are giving her fresh probiotic and electrolyte water daily as well and are almost finished with the antibiotics...she has yet to lay another egg so we will see about that.
thank you again for all of your help!

Sounds good! I hope she continues to do well
