I have a 3 year old golden comet hen (White Rock hen x New Hampshire rooster sexlink crossbreed).
She has lately been presenting with droopy wings, droopy tail, fatigue and in the past couple days it’s gotten worse.
I brought her inside into the hospital pen to observe and noticed when she bent over to eat the food I provided for her, clear runny liquid ran out of her mouth, several times.
I’m pretty sure it had a weird kinda rank smell to it.
There doesn’t seem to be any swelling in the abdomen, no ascites, the crop doesn’t seem to feel or look off, and her butt feathers are fluffy and clean.
Is this sour crop? Could this be something else? In the past when my hens had sour crop they ALSO had vent gleet at the same time, but she doesn’t appear to have that.
