RE: [CHICKENS-101] I think my Ethel's crop bound!

 

> I just put Ethel, my barred rock, to bed a little while ago and noticed
that her crop or chest area seemed to be bulging out to one side. I picked
her up and massaged it a bit and that seemed to help but I'm still worried.
Any advise on how to diagnose/treat crop binding?

if her crop hasn't emptied when she wakes up, you can give some yoghurt
with mineral oil or olive oil for her to eat, then massage again and keep a
close eye on her to see if the crop empties. Hopefully she just pigged out
before going to bed, mine often have a huge crop before they go to sleep
but it's all gone by morning.
