    Hen with sour crop that hasn’t gone away, please help!

    Thank you ♥️ I know because of their age it would probably be harder for them to recover but I didn’t want to give up on them. I was wondering the same if it might possibly been organ failure, with crop issues there’s so many things that could cause it it’s a big guessing game sadly..

    Hen with sour crop that hasn’t gone away, please help!

    Thank you for trying to help her. I never realized how much I’d love having chickens, they’ve got some fun personalities. I’m going to miss hearing her yelling at me for treats as soon as I’d get home from work lol ♥️

    Hen with sour crop that hasn’t gone away, please help!

    Hey guys so I did start her on the Acidified Copper Sulfate again, today was day two. She still has watery poop, I’ve been trying to give her some probiotics from a capsule mixed with coconut oil and syringe it along her beak. Not sure how much she’s getting because she fights me. Her crop is...

    Hen with sour crop that hasn’t gone away, please help!

    OK, I made sure yesterday that her water in the chicken run and coop has the Hydro Hen in it. I let her outside only to scratch in the dirt, not eat any grass. She ate a bunch of insects and worms and I had to put her back in the run because she bent over and semi brown liquid came out of her...

    Hen with sour crop that hasn’t gone away, please help!

    Thank you for linking these articles! Tomorrow will be her last day of the Safeguard, would it be okay to start the ACS again the day after? Her breath still smells and her crop is not completely empty in the morning. I also have some Dulcolax like the article suggests that I could give her...

    Hen with sour crop that hasn’t gone away, please help!

    Hi all I have a 11 year old Buckeye chicken that seems to have sour crop. A couple weeks ago I noticed she seemed a little off and happened to feel her crop in the morning and it was like a water balloon. Her breath smelled and I couldn’t feel anything in her crop except liquid. I gave her some...

    Chicken with swollen eyelid, congested sounding breathing and sluggish, please help!

    We put her to rest yesterday evening. She was declining, she couldn’t get much food in her anymore. Fortunately yesterday was really good weather, so when I got home from work I took her outside until sunset so she could scratch around for worms with my second chicken and dust bathe in the sun...

    Chicken with swollen eyelid, congested sounding breathing and sluggish, please help!

    Hi all here’s an update: Her condition is about the same, still drinking and eating a little chopped veggies and fruit. I’ve been syringe feeding her some liquid crumbles with some unsweetened applesauce and probiotics when I get home from work. Today I had her in my lap and was giving her some...

    No worries, seriously I appreciate all of the help you’ve been with trying to help my chickie girl get better.

    Chicken with swollen eyelid, congested sounding breathing and sluggish, please help!

    So I got a look in her mouth just a bit ago, the yellow plaque is still there. Looked a little discolored in a couple small spots, but seems still pretty much the same size. Could not see very well if there were any noticeable scabs from the blood so I don’t really know where the bleeding wound...

    Chicken with swollen eyelid, congested sounding breathing and sluggish, please help!

    Here she is, she still has some dried blood on her face, I did not see any new blood spots in her enclosed area. I’m thinking of rinsing her eyes with a little saline. She’s drinking a lot of water (still some bubbly saliva on her beak). I’m going to make a mixture of thyme, rosemary, cilantro...

    Chicken with swollen eyelid, congested sounding breathing and sluggish, please help!

    Checked on her this morning, it appeared the bleeding had stopped overnight and most of the dried blood on her face was gone, where she had scratched it off. She was still resting while I was getting both chickens set up for the day. I left her some fresh plain water and a plate of wet mash and...

    I won’t be able to check on her frequently tomorrow since I have to work and won’t be home till late afternoon.., should I leave anything out for her like some fresh plain water or wet food? I read somewhere on this website that Acidified Copper Sulfate could burn exposed/wounded tissue so I...

    Chicken with swollen eyelid, congested sounding breathing and sluggish, please help!

    I’ve been sitting in the coop with her for a while now, she was resting and breathing quietly and then she lifted her head and shook it a couple times, and a huge blood clot came out, it’s about the size of a quarter… I don’t know if she’ll make it.. her face is covered in blood. I’m going to...

    Chicken with swollen eyelid, congested sounding breathing and sluggish, please help!

    The plaque is partly in her throat so I don’t know how to apply pressure if possible… and it was fairly large, I got a look at it briefly before I started hand feeding her/the bleeding and it looked off-colored like green/dark brown in some areas. It definitely is starting to clot, she has some...
