weezer is crop bound -i 'am pretty sure

[old geezer]

,,,,,i am pretty sure wezzer is crop bound and does not have those worms in her wind pipe-

--this evening i went out to renew the blue coat on her back where suzy was pecking her--she was not gasping or breathing heavy at all---but i felt her crop --it was really kind of firm--to one side and about the size of a tennis ball....

....i know this is the less serious of all the evils cast on chickens, and i remember on byc someone suggested once to gentely massage the crop ,, increase the grit source and back off on bread---is this the right thing to do --or am i wrong annd need to do something else

you might want to try and find some copper sulfate and treat her with that first.
