Hello friends! After almost a year of no health issues, our sweet Munchie just came up with a ballooned crop out of nowhere! Pretty sure after researching it is PC. Have you ever made a chicken vomit? It’s not fun! So I have questions... 1). Anyone used a crop bra? 2). If no crop bra...

I cut the ends of an unshucked corn cobb & then I peel a few outer layers. Throw that in the freezer & its a good treat to cool them off. They can pick a cobb clean. If you don’t have access to fresh corn, I have used those half cobbs u get in the freezer section with success. The frozen...
