that Sick Chicken

[nancyloyola]

Last week I noticed one of my chickens was just not herself. Kept an eye on her and the next day I could tell that something wasn't right. Brought her in the house and she is now in a dog create in the livingroom where I am keeping her warm. What's weird is that she is jerking her head from side to side and is throwing-up when she drinks. Her gizzard feels like a water ballon and makes alot of noise. She doesn't eat much only a little scramble egg when I fix it for her and all she does is stand all day. She also has diarrhea. When she does throw-up it's the kinda pinkish/brown color and there have been a few large pieces of green grass in it. Any suggestions and what can I do for her.

I dont know much about sour crop but thats what this sounds like. Heres a BUMP so maybe someone more experienced can help you out.

You were right she had sour crop. Had to hang her upside down and force the fluid out of her crop and have been treating her with Apple cider Vinegar and Natural Yoghurt. She is doing much better today. Just wanted to thank you for your tip, it probably saved my chicken.
