Hello all,
Hoping for some help. I have a week old chick that appears to have a swollen crop. Still he good energy, eating, drinking, etc. I noticed it very slightly last night but nothing concerning since it was the end of the day.
Today I noticed it was rather large, squishy and not hard, and a small “bald” spot at the top by her neck. I’m very new to owning chickens so everything I’m thinking so far has just been from research this morning. It let me message it gently nothing came up after the light massage. I have isolated in a separate pin to be able to withhold any food or liquids for a few hours. Basically starting initial treatment like sour crop but I have no clue if that’s the case.. all other chicks are fine. anyone else have this issue before and can help that would be great!
