Sam Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Hi. Not sure what one my chicken has. Her crop has been really hard recently and didn't empty over night which made me think impacted crop. Have been syringing olive oil into her beak and massaging the crop, and just did it again and her crop felt a lot softer. Also, does this have anything to do with really watery droppings? Her feathers behind are covered and matted (wormed recently) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I'd give her awash to avert flystrike then carry on with the oil/massage/maggots routine. Withdraw any food for 36 hours and syringe feed her with water containing some Avipro or NutriDrops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted August 24, 2011 Author Share Posted August 24, 2011 Thanks, will give that a go. Washed her earlier and she was ever so calm about it and just stood there when I used the hair dryer on her, so I decided to give my white chicken a wash... I got absolutely soaked, she flapped and flapped and sprayed water all up my shorts and t-shirt. Won't be washing her again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
