I bought 3 chickens about 2 months ago. I think one of them have had issues with their crop twice now. This second time I think is going to kill her. She is very lethargic. Can't keep her eyes open. Doesn't move much and her head nods off repeatedly. Does anyone have a good potential cure for it?

Fried chicken copycat
Mareks disease happened to our second round a few years ago. It was sad to see and nothing we could do about it. It exists in the soil and they gradually get it.
We've had a couple that died from what I'm pretty sure was Marek's.
One of our Wyandottes from last year got a swollen crop and we've tried a bunch of stuff to get it to go down but it hasn't, and she seems fine. Wife calls her Dolly, I call her Lumpy.

I know Ideal will immunize for Mareks but if IIRC vaccine is only 95% effective
Found her dead this morning in the coop.
We have historically force fed syringes of olive oil and yogurt to help clear impacted crops.tmaggie50 said:

It almost never works. I don't think there was much you were going to be able to do to save her outside of a vet visit, which, let's be honest, probably isn't work the visit. Sorry for your chicken and family. That sucks.
