The Dogmother Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 That sounds like sour crop to me, see this thread in the wonderful FAQ section Chickens don't have a gag reflex so can't be sick, but if their crop is full of fermented liquid, or blocked, the the contents can leak upwards. The real risk is that they will choke on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
