    Severe pendulous crop

    This is a long post! Sorry but I have a lot of info to share! I posted a couple months ago about my two year old black copper Maran hen, Truffles, and her battle with sour/pendulous crop. I had gotten some good advice and have tried just about everything. She has had sour crop since Dec 2024...

    7month old hen, pendulous crop and water belly, and just laid first egg

    Hi all. I joined over the summer bc a chick became ill soon after bringing her home. Same chick is now 7 months old, her crop was hanging down, hard and full yesterday morning. I’ve been massaging and it felt sandy after. I gave her olive oil and a lot of water, and made her a crop bra. She...

    (Update) RIP HeadHen - Story of HeadHen and how unique she is

    (not asking for advice, just sharing HeadHen's journey, have thread for advice) So, this is HeadHen. Black Australorp, got her end of Feb 2023 in a straight run. She was the biggest hen: size, comb, redness. Even over some of the cockerels. She was always right there, talkative, loved eating...

    We have a beautiful english silverlaced orpington, Ada Lovelace, and she nearly died last November (it's August now) but she still had chronic diarrhea and I feel so bad for her. I'm hoping if I post what we've been through the last year and perhaps some of you will have tips to help rid her...

    Sour Crop?? Watery, gassy, pendulous crop

    Hi BYC. I don't use forums often so I apologize in advance if I'm doing anything wrong. SBC ("scared black chicken" - name courtesy of my cousin) is a black sex link hen, ~6yrs old, weight unknown but she currently feels lighter than she usually is. She has had a pendulous crop since we got her...

    Egg withdrawal with sour crop?

    I suspect my chicken Laverne has sour crop. Does anyone know if there is an egg withdrawal period if I treat her with miconazole? I can't seem to find an answer? 🤷 Thanks!

    Confused about my chickens crop

    This is my first time raising chickens and I would REALLY appreciate any advice on this. My hen has a very large crop. I looked into sour crop and impacted crop and I don't think her crop is impacted. I'm not sure if she has a sour crop though. It's large and squishy. The last few nights when...

But do I put water in her cage? I know I need to take it out at night so that I can see how her crop is doing in the...

    Sweater question

    I have an older hen (5+ years) who has a pendulous crop. A year ago we took her to the vet for an impact problem and she's doing much better but we keep her in a "crop bra" (a modified face mask strapped to her wings and held in place with a clip) to help keep her supported and help her...

    Lilly is a 5 month old Bielefelder pullet. Yesterday, I noticed her spit up some white and yellow liquid, but it didn't smell sour or yeasty. Her profile is off, and after examining her, it looks like she has pendulous crop. The contents are soft, flabby, and about the size of an orange. Her...

    Pendulous Crop?

    This morning I found one of my hens crop was still half full. She did not have access to food until I came out this morning so I know she wasn't eating. It didn't feel squishy. It felt a little hard, but not completely full. I put her in a dog crate so that she can't eat more and make it worse...

    Impacted Crop Advice

    One of my hens has an impacted and pendulous crop. So far I haven't fed her in 24 hours in hopes the impaction would pass (it hasn't). I gave her oregano oil which she hated and I have been giving her massages. I suspect it's been 3 days that her crop has been impacted. Her crop is one solid but...

    Pendulous Crop or Sour Crop

    I have a BA who is approx 6 months old. Two days ago i noticed her crop was quite distended (approx. the size of a tennis ball). I isolated her the next morning and kept her off of food for approximately 24 hours. She had access to water with ACV, which she seemed to be drinking normally. That...
