sour crop

I’ve been treating my chicken for sour crop for two days (in isolation) and she doesn’t seem to get better. Induced committing yesterday with much success, fed ACV water after, today some scramble and yogurt, electrolytes with molasses. First she seemed better even ate a bit but later she...

backstory on pearls: she is a 4-year-old splash cochin, and she has currently been broody for around 2 weeks (this is her second time being broody this year and i am assuming the "cause" for these crop issues). so 2 days ago i noticed that my chicken pearls was having some issue with her crop...

I have grown up with chickens my whole life and was recently asked to petsit 4 newly adopted hens for a friend. I'm not sure exactly how old they are but I think they are relatively new egg layers so maybe around 30 weeks? The first day hen sitting I noticed one Rhode Island Red was quite...

Hi all, One of our lovely girls has a suspected case of sour crop, but I'm worried it may be something worse. The right side of her chest, where the crop is, is very enlarged to about the size of a tennis ball, I'd say. She is big for a hen and hasn't started laying even though she's about 7...

Hi everyone, long-time reader but first-time poster here. Recently, one of my hens got sour crop, and I was able to treat it with vomiting and Monistat. She was perking up and even eating again after the smell went away and her crop went down (she wouldn't eat for about a week, but was...

I wanted to add a short video but that doesn’t seem to want to work. I have a Brahma hen that has been doing an odd motion with her neck. She always tends to fill herself up— she’s a big girl, and I’ve come to expect her crop to be pretty big. But I don’t typically notice her doing the funky...

I have a hen that recently got over a respiratory infection after a course of doxycycline. A day or two after I reintroduced her to the flock I noticed that once of my new pullets was pooping blood- I separated her and started everyone else on a preventative dose of Corid. I did a tremendously...

Hello Everyone, I have a 3 week old chick with sour crop. She was born with wry neck which resolved, physically, with selenium and B. Yestersay she was sluggish, still moving with the crew but her crop was big which i noted for the first time, visibly. I put her in another brooder, with an older...

Hi Everyone, Looking for advice on what might be affecting my 2 year old barred rock hen. She has been ill for the last couple of days. Her symptoms are: Almost clear, slighlty whiteish diarrhea Lack of interest in food- Although when I let her out to wander the yard yesterday she went wild for...

Hi all, I'll try to make this short. Over the last few weeks I have noticed one of my older hens, 4 years ish, start to isolate herself a little. She then presented with vent gleet. She will start to get better and then decline again. She seemed super good a couple of days ago, now she is...

Hi, it's me again. This is a follow-up from my last thread about my hen acting off. (Link here.) Do let me know if there's a better way to update people! I don't think I can edit the post anymore Good news and bad news, good is that I tried Miconazole and it really helped. Cleared her up for...

I'm sorta new to BYC so i hope i posted this in the right area 😓 I'm worried its to late i noticed my bantam hen (Garnet) wasn't eating much at all 3 days ago and she was very easy to catch normally she's less tame than the others, so i brought her in and took a look at her. she wasn't sneezing...

hello! My 9 month old bantam has been having problems with her crop and possibly other things. We got an xray yesterday and they saw nothing strange. Today, I went to another vet who actually showed us the xray. She said my hen has a mass in her reproductive organs, possibly a tumor or...

Hello! I have a problem hen, it seems. She can never just stay normal for more than a couple weeks. Anyway, my 9 month old bantam Cochin (recent mother of three as of 7 weeks ago) has been behaving odd at night and during moments of rest during the day. I first noticed about 1 1/2 weeks ago...

Any suggestions please.. I have a 3 year old leghorn with sour crop four days ago, (isolated inside the enclosure/ treated with apple cider, Greek yoghurt after she purged her own crop when offered warm water. She is being kept warm with an external heat source as nights are dropping to around...

Two issues occurring in our tiny flock right now and I've always found great advise on this sight so reaching out for more(?) advise/guidance. Sour Crop: We are on day 3 of something going on with one of our 6 year old barred rock hens. She has been lethargic and throwing up. Based on...

My chicken started wheezing/gasping a week or so ago. I was away, so I didn’t catch it at the beginning. It sounded like a respiratory issue. When I picked her up, she had a very squishy crop and threw up a lot of foul smelling liquid. I treated her with ACV and yogurt. Gave her plenty of...

Hello all! It’s been a while since I posted anything here. I have an emergency question. My serama hen Burrito (she is 3 years old) has been having sour crop on and off. I usually put on a monthly fasting for 1-2 days, and she would be fine. These past 3 months I have been extremely busy and...

Has anyone ever experienced an impacted crop from oyster shells? We thought one of our chickens had sour crop and after taking it to the vet for a crop flush we were told she had stones in her crop. This didn't exactly make sense given the "stone" we were shown was bright white and looked...

One of our chickens currently has sour crop. we have isolated her, massaged, given ACV, drained the crop, pretty much all the basic measures you see when looking for treatment options. She is acting relatively normal, but her crop will not seem to fully empty and today she her poop was green. We...
