    Squishy crop, but no smell and is empty in the morning

    New chicken keeper here! I have a 9-month-old Australorp whose crop is squishy at night. I noticed it two evenings ago as I put our hens to bed. However, earlier that day and the next, she was running around with the flock, happily eating, scratching, and free-ranging. Even though she was...

    Hen with sour crop!!!

    Help!!! My Rhode Island Red Bantam has sour crop. How can I help her? Will it go away on its own? I noticed that she was being really sad today (not eating, standing/sitting around, etc) and I felt that her crop was really squishy and fluid-like. Earlier she threw up a little bit of yellowish...

I have given her some...

    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!

    I think my chicken has sour crop

    When I went out to feed my chickens this morning I noticed that one had a really dirty butt. I caught her and looked her over. Her crop is full and squishy. Sometimes her crop doesn't fully empty overnight and she still has a little food in it in the morning, but it's never been full. If we can...

    Sour crop and Monostat

    Hello! I have a 9 week old chick with sour crop. I read here that you can treat with Monostat suppository as long as it doesn’t have propylene glycol in it. The person said they cut it up into 3rds and force fed it. My question is how do you force feed this to a chicken when it’s hard to even...

    Duckling with Sour Crop

    I'm pretty sure my 3-week old duckling has sour crop. I noticed one was acting different today - lethargic, not keeping up with the group, chirping constantly. The duckling is also quite smaller, maybe half the size of the other ducks. I picked the duck up to look for any signs of illness and I...
