  • In this video, I build a chicken hospital and treat an impacted crop. Birdie has had a large, full crop for a few weeks that has only been getting worse, so I need to separate her from the others so she doesn't have access to food and has time to recover.

    Impacted crops are awful. I successfully treated one of ours by removing food but offering her fly larva several times per day. I read about it and the theory was that the fly larva would help to eat up the impaction... It worked for her! Came over from the Facebook TH-cam group to subscribe. Looking forward to getting to know you all.

      She’s crock bound get you some warm soapy water put it on the tip of your finger stick it in her rectum and she will shit out all the food that’s crawl in a crock this is normal for Game Fowl to or get you some electrolytes and shoot a lot of it down her neck with a syringe she will release all that bad food while you are trying to do is no good

    I've isolated my hen. Are the neck movements okay? Shes doing them a lot. How long until they stop?

      How is her crop? Does it empty overnight? Withhold food to see if it does.
      Our bird didn't make it because her crop didn't clear out and I couldn't get it empty.
      Also check to see if anything is stuck in her throat

      I have two hens that have very full crops, i think they ate too much when we gave them veggies yesterday. One is very lethargic and the other one has the exact head movements yours did in the video. I brought them inside 3 hours ago and have only given them plain Greek yogurt. I don't know if they need the vet or if it can pass on it's own.

      @@daniellebrown6345 don't feed them anymore for a day and see if it goes down. You can also give them olive oil and massage if it feels solid. Could be that something is compacted in there too, if it doesn't go down overnight
