sour crop

We're going into summer, it's getting hotter each day. And over the past 5 weeks I've had 3 girls sick with sour crop (3rd is in for the night to see if we can get it moving). They're 2 year old Orpingtons (blues and black). Other 2 hens have been fine (well, one had an unrelated reproductive...

Hey everyone! I'm concerned about one of my year old hens. For the past few weeks she's been having very watery, small, unnaturally green poops (pictured here). It took me a while to figure out which hen was having these droppings because until just a few days ago, she'd been acting fairly...

1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) I have a Speckled Sussex pullet, Thelma, who is feeling very poorly. She’s about 10 months old. I don’t think she’s lost much weight. 2) What is the behavior, exactly. My flock caught...

My olive egger, Gertie, is about 18mos the old. About a month ago we started having issues with her - lethargic, losing weight, not eating much if at all and excessive thirst when she would drink. She started molting but seemed a bit extreme compared to the others. She was also having diarrhea...

I watched a couple videos to help relieve sour crop from my Americana, Jess, she did well. And I fed her water, .... it was fluid but more food than anything. she choked at one point and then got it out. There was a chunk of food. it definitely smelled bad. I gave her water afterwards and she...

Her crop was full felt like a balloon Monday and been massaging her crop giving her water with apple cider vinegar and yogurt. Today her crop felt smaller and has gotten smaller throughout the day she’s been pooping right after I massage her crop. I caught her eating a pear that was on the floor...

my chicken has sour crop and I want to give her Monistat but don’t know the right dosage, the one I bought come in a tube. Do I give her a pea size amount? Also I’ve seen some post say 3x a day or 1x a day?

I own 6 chickens, and when I picked up one of them today, I noticed their chest was squishy, almost like a water balloon. I knew this was a symptom for sour crop so I went and felt my other chickens crop, and theirs seemed fairly squishy as well. They live in a large run with no grass, mostly...

(Pic from Friday) Hi all! I have a hen named Daisy and she is very very deathly ill. She is 7 years old and grew Rooster plumage, spurs, and comb over this summer. Then a few days ago she began acting sick. She wasn’t walking much, acted sleepy and when she tipped her head down she would yank it...

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...

Hi all! Hope everyone is well. Hoping to find some answers regarding my sweet hen Cheeseburger. She seems to be having some crop issues, but I can’t decide if it’s impacted/sour/some other mystery thing. It’s fluctuated in size the past few days, but has always been too full too early in the...

Hello everyone, I am new here as I’ve only had my precious hens for 6 weeks but have found all forums extremely helpful so thanks in advance for any replies! Unfortunately one of my babies (ex battery Rhodey) has impacted/sour crop and worms. After feeling a hard lump that didn’t disappear...

I really need help. So, we found out my chick has sour crop, and for 24 hours we've been giving her ACV, probiotics and electrolytes. We did give her the tiniest bit of mashed hard boiled egg cause she had been looking pretty weak. The 24 hours are up and she is still soo swollen. I don't want...

Hello all, I’m new to raising chickens. My girls are only 16 weeks old. I need help. The last 24 hours, I noticed that my French Black Copper Maran had a ballooned crop that felt squishy. Tonight when doing evening chores, I picked her up to see how her crop felt and liquid came out of her...

My chicken started with symptoms of just sitting down and not eating, she lost weight. I noticed her crop wouldn’t empty even though she wasn’t eating. I massaged it for 3 days it got smaller way smaller but it felt like she has some small dough inside her. She has been eating blueberries and...

Hi! I have a lavender buff who is 1.25 years old. A few weeks ago she starting acting lethargic and did a lot of neck craning. Thought maybe excess grass clippings resulted in sour crop as her crop would not deflate after fasting and felt like a water balloon. She perked up after a few days...

I found our 5 year old Easter Egger sitting in the nesting box two nights ago, and thinking she was egg bound, brought her in the house for observation. She had very dirty tail feathers and upon inspection, I did not feel an egg stuck so I gave her a tums and let her sleep for the night. In the...

Last Monday I noticed my chicken had no energy and Tuesday -Saturday she just sat down barely drank water and didn’t eat her food. Since Friday I’ve been massaging her crop, gave her olive oil and ACV. Her crop has gotten way smaller but is still just a little full in the morning. Since...

so my chicken has not been acting the same since Monday. Sits most of the day not eating drinks some water. Symptoms sound like sour crop. Her crop doesn’t empty in the morning. Yesterday I started massaging her crop and while I was doing that it felt like a bean bag or filled with beads. Is...

I noticed about two weeks ago that my 16 week old pullet had an enlarged crop. No worries, didn't think much of it. I only noticed because she started to make a gesture like she was gagging (I know chickens can't gag, but that was what it looked like). Went on a vacation and came back, and it...
