Velvet Needs Help...Puzzler...Any Ideas? ***She's Dead****

She may also has some type of fungal infection going on in there. I had something similar but without the comb being swollen. The crop was huge but felt like it was full of fluid, air, or gasses, or maybe a combination of all. I treated for a fungal infection and fed only a handful of crumbles twice each day. I was also administering epsom salt water with a syringe to help get things moving. Within 2-3 days, the crop started to empty and I slowly gave her more food each day. Things look back to normal now. Good luck to you, hope you can figure this one out.
 
Wow Cyn. Sorry to hear about Velvet. Hopefully it clears up with the change in diet. Out the last batch of eggs I hatched from you, Velvet had several that did not develop. I wonder if this is related so I thought I should mention it. Skyes and Dede's did great.
 
She's dead. I went to bring her up to the house to work on her and she began throwing up stuff from the crop. It blocked her airway and she died in my DH's arms. He did mouth to mouth (shows how much he cares), but it did no good. It was very fast.

How much more can we take this year?

Oh Cynthia. You poor thing. At least it was fast.
Condolences to your faithful DH too.

It's about time for some blessings from above, don't you think?
Is your middle name "Job"?
