Sour/Impacted crop

[M0ss]

Hi all, I have been struggling with one of my chickens. She keeps getting doughy sour crop. I have been using monistat twice a day, but that is not working. I have also given her ACV. The most recent thing I’ve done is give her a crop bra. I have dewormed her, thinking maybe it was caused by worms, however it doesn’t seem to be making a difference.

Since the miconozole isn't working, I would consider treating with acidified copper sulfate.

If you haven't read this article on crop issues, I think it's worth a read.

Here's a thread on the use of ACS to treat sour crop. (Dosage and other useful information here.)

You can purchase acidified copper sulfate at Jedd's Pet Supplies.

I hope your chicken improves! Let us know how she's doing!

How many days have you given the Monistat?

She's still eating/drinking normally?

What did you give as a dewormer, dosage and timeline.

I'd make sure she's drinking well and eating. Give the Miconazole 2X a day for a full 7 days.
You can also give coconut oil chunks a couple of times a day.

Is she pooping? What's that like?

Often a crop problem is a symptom of an underlying condition. Reproductive disorders, infection, worms, etc. can cause the crop to slow and turn sour.
