My speckeldy seems to have fluid in her chest, she does not have a runny nose. but she is moving her neck in a funny way.  She is eating and drinking but has stopped laying. Can anyone suggest anything ,thanks in advance

What have you been feeding her??

[Karhog]

Hi, has she been wormed recently? Is she gasping for breath? Any fluid in her eyes or nostrils?

[Teapot]

She has been fed on mixed poultry feed the same as the others and no she is not gasping or anything. She goes around the garden the same as the others and seems normal.

Is is her crop that has fluid,thats the lower part of her neck or underneath her between her legs..

[Karhog]

Have you noticed if her poohs are normal? If she has not been wormed it could be gape worm- are you able to look down her throat as i believe you can sometimes see this if this is the case...Ugh I know, and thankfully I haven't personally had to deal with this

Hi Thanks for all the advice she has been wormed and apart from the fluid and not laying eggs she is fine and bright.

Hen-Night, yes her fluid is by her crop and between her legs do you know what it is ? Thanks

maybe sour crop?  Anyone think that?

[Teapot]

What is sour crop?? Thanks in advance for your help

[Teapot]

THANK YOU.  yes it was sour crop and I have dealt with it and she seems quite perky.  Gave her a bit of olive oil as well.

You are a mine of information and I am extremely grateful.

sorry i didnt reply in time and tell you wat sour crop was, it was my first thought.  So glad you got to find out what it was and have dealt with it.  Was it dealt with by a vet.  Teapot you may need to keep your eye on it as it usually re-occurs and their is a tablet vet prescribe for it to dry it up properly.  I cant think off top of my head what its called but think i have some left somewhere so will go look or maybe some-one knows it.
