I haven't been on here in a while, I guess thats good if it means I've had a pretty healthy flock.
I have had one chicken though that has had a sour crop a few times over the past 2 months.
I posted a blog about what I did to treat it with some pics, and she seems to fully recover each time.

Wondering how much this issue might be attributed to the lack of natural grit during the winter months?
I keep a bowl of hen grit in their coop but it seems like they don't use it much. I am giving them kitchen scraps a lot.
Any insight?
