What can be wrong with my chicken please help!!

[Flaka]

I would use antibiotic ointment on it after cleansing it twice a day with saline or chlorhexidene. Posting a picture later when it is healing would be good.

Thank you so much I will keep everybody updated we are trying our hardest so she can heal soon how much time do you think it will take to heal?

Hard to know about a crop injury, but most wounds will heal in a few weeks if there is no infection.

Hi sounds good I really appreciate all the information you guys give me and will keep you updated.

Hi so an update to me her wound looks better. What do you guys think?

Yes somewhat better. Is she pooping normally and eating well? Does her crop empty by the next morning?

I know it looks like wow and it has been hard days for us healing her and sometimes seeing blood when she pecks herself but we are trying our best. We want her crop to heal. We don't want to lose another chicken because it's hard and sad.

Hi yes she is pooping normally and eating well. Yes she does. Also she is a busy active one lol.

Ghastly wound.
Looks like the skin was completely cut and exposed the crop.

Can you try making a little ring to go around her neck, preventing her from reaching the wound? You could remove it when she is eating and drinking if it gets in her way. A Tee shirt made from a cut off sleeve of a Tee or sweat shirt might also work. The cuff should be around her neck. You can experiment with something that works. If a bandage works best, that might help. But make sure that it is covered with antibiotic ointment or wound cream. It may be irritating her, itching, or hurting. Have you ever located the sharp edge that cut her chest?

As the crop will be extending and shrinking constantly according to her food uptake I think that this wound should be stitched up carefully as not to accidentally fix the outer skin to the crop.
