Title: sour crop
Post by: Chicklover on May 16, 2012, 11:21:43 AM

How to get rid of sour crop in a 8 week old chick? It is mushy at this time. She has been on grass until she came down with this.

There was a pretty long thread on here maybe a few months ago about a hen with a crop problem. I'm not sure how to link to other posts, but it's on page 2 of this Housing, Health, & Hatching section. I've never experienced sour crop, so I'm afraid I won't be of much help. There did seem to be some kind of special recipe with olive oil and yogurt, but I'm paraphrasing so check that thread for the full scoop.

I just saw this thread. How is your 8 week old doing? I was the one who had the hen with the sour crop a few months ago. Here is a link to that thread: http://ameraucana.org/forum/index.php?topic=1721.0  Let me know how your chick is doing. Are you sure it's sour crop?
