This is her. She has a fluid filled crop. I already lost a turkey to this and another chicken has symptoms now too. They have yellow poop

@Eggcessive , @Wyorp Rock , can you help?

I’m so scared I’m going to lose my whole flock

Did you get a necropsy on the turkey, or have you taken any droppings in for a fecal float test for cecal worms? Do you have any pictures of the droppings? Can you check the crop innthe morning before eating or drinking to see if it has emptied? Blackhead is more of a disease of turkeys than chickens. I will tag @casportpony in case she has any advice.

If the chicken has blackhead you need to treat with fenbendazole, metronidazole & enrofloxacin. How much does she weigh?

No, but all of the symptoms align. Should they have food and water overnight ? Will they live? Is the rate if spreading between chickens big?

They both weighed in at 3-4 pounds last time I weighed them for medicine
