Hi all
One of my chickens, about a year old, had its crop fill with fluid. I gave it an epson salt bath and thought it had sour crop. I admistered vomiting it but it did it very reluctantly, and thevomit was dark in color and very gritty and only a little came out at a time. I thought I drained the crop, I let her sit for an hour because she was very puffy and sleepy and when I came back the crop was completely filled again. I admistered vomit again and it did with the same results and I came back again about an hour later and she was the same. I don't want to keep having her vomit if she doesn't need to. Shes constantly puffy and sleepy and burps occasionally. Could she have crop impaction by chance? What is wrong with her?
