We’ll I hear different things so I’m sure some people on here would disagree 🤣 but i isolated her in a “chicken hospital” enclosure and took her off water and food for 12 hours. She still wasn’t eating after that anyway. We massaged her crop daily. We tried to make her vomit one time but it was...
I thought my chicken had sour crop, but in closer look, she has what appears to be an injury on her breast plate. I noticed when I picked her up the other day she was wet underneath and I thought she just sat in some water… But I’m almost wondering if the infection was oozing/popped and that was...

Hi all. I am a first time chicken keeper in my hens are about 7 months old. they have just started laying eggs. One of my hens is definitely dealing with sour crop. I have made sure it’s not an egg bound issue. She is drooling water, watery diarrhea, lethargic and soft squishy crop. We isolated...
