    Can you consume the meat of a chicken that had sour crop?

    As the title says. We have a chicken with a crop issue that has been repeatedly improving and then getting worse. An impaction that we seemed to clear successfully, then turned into pendulous crop and now seeming sour. No treatments seem like they’ve helped so we’re at the point of considering...

    Hello everyone, I'm hoping someone can help me this morning. One of my 2 Cream Legbars became lethargic last weekend and almost seemed depressed. While free-ranging, she would sleep in random spots when all the others were pecking about. Her vent looks healthy but I noticed her poop was runny...

    Hello, Our Speckled Sussex, Winifred (roughly a year and a half old) has been acting rather strangely lately. We're not sure how long this has been going on for (maybe since August?), but she has taken to sitting in the nesting box, turning around, and acting as if she is going to lay an egg...

    chicken with crop issues - next steps

    I've been posting on here for about a week now. My 5-month-old buff initially had what I believe was an impacted crop. The vet gave us a medication to assist with motility, gave the last dose last night. I believe it turned sour. It feels balloon-like and full of air, when I massage it makes...

    Impacted crop, sour crop, now feels inflated with air?

    Is this normal for a sour crop to feel filled with air? It was impacted before, then it became sour, now I can barely even feel food in it, it just feels filled with air like a partially blown up balloon. I have tried EVERYTHING aside from monistat so I was going to try that now. Just wanting to...

    Chicken vomiting yellow liquid

    Hi. My chicken is a 4 month old Colombian rock cross. She was fine yesterday but today I found her hiding and lethargic. In this kind of a scenario I would assume is coccidious and treat with Corid. However when I picked her up, I accidentally tipped her and yellow drool dribbled out. That made...
