busy lizzie Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 can anyone help me? I got some exbatts and 2 pol girls 2wks ago. Afew of them started ssith sniffles so added citricidal to water and all seemed to improve. Wormed them this week after a couple seemed to have gapes. However Amber my pol is still unwell. I haven't seen her eating although that doesn't mean she hasn't but when i tried to tempt her with some faves grapes, fresh sweetcorn or cabbage she didn't want any. her crop seems full and warm to hot i have felt it but it is soft. How do I tell if it is compacted? She is sat in box in living room with me and has just sneezed or vomited clear liquid help! Ps not got good vets for hens around me. Tried colloidal silver, citricidal and fed on exbatts pellets but now on ex batt crumb and a little mixed corn as treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hen Watch Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Take a look at this link. It has a picture of my Henny on it. The crop will be still full in the morning. Normally it will be full last thing in the day, then get digested and emptied overnight. viewtopic.php?f=41&t=25052 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
