Title: Panic Moment
Post by: Hawkins on July 10, 2010, 15:14

I had a panic moment yesterday I picked up my blackrock Katie to put her to bed as she didnt want to go in and felt the most humungus solid lump on her right hand side. Well I think my heart stopped for a minute and then I realised it was her crop but it was so full. Katie is a gutsy mare but this thing was solid and humungus. Thankfully it had all gone down this morning so she can re fill it today. Talk about a heart stopping moment. :D :D

It is amazing how much they stuff in sometimes  ::)

My Yokohama bantam shows it more than most as she is naturally a more streamline shape than her fat little chick Wyandotte and Vorwerk coop mates.  Sometimes I look at her in the evening and her right side is about twice the size of the left  :lol:

Thats what happened to me I knew it was her crop but it was so full. she obviously had a good day and is very happy. Gave me quite a shock for a moment though.
