Thurs: First noticed Eddie was not himself. :?
Fri: After taking him to the vets and given anti bios, he perked up a bit but still not eating properly. He would try but seemed to have trouble. Massaged crop, though it felt empty to me.
Sat/Sun:I got worried by the amount of weight he was losing in such a short period ( acouple of days). Anyway fed him via a syringe live yogurt (diluted) and water with a little honey disolved in it. :(
Mon: Looked much better & was trying to eat a little. :)
Now he is back to his usual self, eating normally and getting up to mischief. Though hasn't crowed on a morning yet. :D

Good news Fat Hen :D Do you have any idea what the problem was :?:

Hi Aunt Sally
Not sure what was wrong with Eddie, vet said he had some impaction of crop however when I massaged it it felt empty to me.
Following anti bio injection he briefly appeared better trying to eat and rodger the hens.
Though did not eat properly for about 3 days. Lost loads of wheight. And appeared miserable (slowly following the hens about but with little interaction).
By monday he was 100 0/0 better, eating and up to mischief, however still not sure what was wrong with him, maybe impacted crop, dunno, water, yoghurt & honey appeared to sought him & glad to have him back, though he is a telly addict, enjoys sitting on daughters knee & watching scooby doo.
Has been in flower beds, daffodil poisoning?

Daffodils in June :?:
I find chooks are very careful about new foods and only try a bit to begin with. Great to have him back to his old self :D
