I have a 10+ year rooster who started acting strange last Sunday and I noticed his crop was still full with the cracked corn he had eaten the day before. Unfortunately I just kind of left him to himself. Well, it got worse and only then did I learn what it could be. After some time I...

So a week ago, I noticed my Comet acting a little funny, noticed she had vent gleet and started bathing and putting cream on her... she started being fine again.
Today we are lethargic, comb is darkening, won’t eat/drink, and our crop is swollen...
Hi ! I rescued an abandoned chick that was on the curb yesterday. I took her (or him) to a vet that said she was 4-5 days old and has nasty infection in her eyes (they were swollen shut and crusted over). I have been cleaning them and applying an ointment and she looks way better already, is...
Hi Everyone,
I’m in need of some crop advice. Any help is much appreciated!

I first noticed my chickens were acting slow around their enclosure and weren’t eating food but drinking lots of water, I later found out that they might have an impacted crop. So I managed to get the chicken who looked the worse throw up a few times before bed. How many times should I do this...
We have emptied the chicken's crop 2 times, liquid came out. She is still not moving, drinking or eating. We gave her a little coconut oil.She has her head down and is just standing with eyes closed.
What can I do? please give advice
Hello,
I was wondering whether anyone would be able to shed some light on my current situation...

Martha is my 9mo Golden Laced Polish. She is laying, but has not laid in 2-3 days.. she always lays every other day. Her chest is extremely swollen, to the point where I can’t even feel a crop on the right side of her chest. It’s all just huge feeling. Really firm. When she squaks at me, only...
Hi, we just rescued 6 abandoned chickens which we are intending to integrate them with our 4 hens of a year. We noticed that the two largest have the symptoms associated with impacted crop condition and are getting conflicting results for treatment. They are healthy and eating with no signs of...

I went straight to this article featured on the website:

Hey guys! I have an older hen who is a red comet. She’s about 5 or 6 years old... I’m not too sure. But she was recently molting, poor thing, and of course during the cold. I’m aware that she has frostbite on her comb, and she has an impacted crop. Another hen has feet lice and was wondering if...
I understand that chickens cannot really vomit but that this the best description of the main symptom.
A week ago, I bought 4 7mos black AmeracaunaX hens. Upon arrival, one had a loud gurgling stomach and occasionally has saliva-like liquid (clear and coloured) coming from her beak. The most...

Hi everyone,
I think my hen has a sour crop? Her crop is squishy this morning and for the last couple days she has been breathing with her mouth open.
What should I do to treat her?
I stopped feeding her solid food and have only given her plain yogurt. She doesn't seem like she's been eating...
My bantam cockerel, Ares, was acting lethargic this morning. I brought him inside and noticed that he wasn't making his usual sounds or moving around much. I massaged his crop and he started spitting out food and grass. He is pale and pooping normally. Now that I've massaged his crop, he seems...
One of my Gold Sex Link hens, 'Goldie' was attacked by my dog yesterday (family member accidentally let the dog out while the chickens were still free ranging). By the time I found out about it it was already turning dark and I could not find her that night. I found her the next morning standing...
