Sour crop
Our take
Oh, the ups and downs of chicken parenting! It sounds like you've been through quite the adventure with Beebe and her sour crop. After a day of fasting and some TLC with apple cider vinegar, it’s great to hear her crop is feeling better and she's showing signs of perkiness. While it’s tempting to let her rejoin the flock right away, it’s wise to keep a couple of things in mind. Monitor her closely for any signs of discomfort, and consider giving her a bit more time to fully recover before throwing her back into the ruckus of chicken life. A little extra time in the crate can help ensure she’s truly on the mend. Your feathered friend will appreciate your cautious approach!
| | My girl Beebe had sour crop yesterday, I quarantined, fasted her all day, gave her water with ACV in the evening and overnight. This morning her crop feels like it is pretty much empty. Soft but not longer full? I have her a few bites of plain Greek yoghurt. My question is, now what? Do I let her rejoin the flock outside? She seems perky, but very unhappy to be in a dog crate in the basement. [link] [comments] |
