So my chicken has been doing a lot better, she's been talking eating and acting more like her normal self now. She is still sitting down quite often but not as much as she did. There is still somthing wrong with her crop although. There's no grit and shes not as full as she used to be despite eating the same.

I assume the hen in the thread below?

Did you treat her crop and give her Calcium as suggested in the other thread?

Photos of her and her poop may be helpful.

Yes it is the same chicken. We did give her calcium and that helped her a lot. I will send a photo of her and her poop as soon as I can.
I'm glad the Calcium helped. How many days did you give it to her?

A crop issue can take days/weeks to resolve depending on what's causing it. Sometimes there's an underlying condition and the crop issue is just a symptom. I highly recommend you read the article and follow that to treat the crop, don't skip on treatment or cut it short if she seems to improve, finish the course.

Ok, I will definitely. She has been doing a whole lot better. We have been giving her Calcium when ever they eat in there food
