So what are you suggesting..? From what I see with my own eyes is no worms in poo but it’s not like I’m an expert and can tell myself necessarily.. I just want my girl to get better. I worry a lot about her and can try deworming and giving her a supporter like crop braI read only the first page.
birds of all kinds get large crops once in awhile.
don't worry about it.
and don't go massaging it or squeezing it.
that doesn't have any positive results.
don't expect her mouth to smell sweet. she is a bird and her breath will probably stink..
check her poop for worms. If there aren't any there, don't assume she has them anyhow..
Just curious, how old have your oldest birds been that you have kept? Any of them ever reach age five? Is there a cut-off age where you automatically cull?I am suggesting that she is not ill.
more or less, just leave it alone.
On many threads here on byc you will read about impacted crops, sour crops, egg bound chickens , and the list goes on.
I have been raising all sorts of birds for over 50 years. hundreds at a time. I have had up to 400 assorted birds at a time.
my laying flock was from a few chickens up to 40 . I never had any of the above mentioned maladies ..
people tend to over react and imagine the worst. and mostly,,,misdiagnose ..
it is OK to be concerned about your birds, but keep it real..
I’m going to acquire about the fecal sample float test at the facility just for info but if I can’t it wouldn’t hurt to just deworm anyhow? Also mom has been super looking into crop supportsThanks!
