Black Sludge coming out of Chicken’s Mouth?
This is our favorite girl, a little adventurer. When she started to act lethargic with her feathers puffed up, we worried she was egg bound. But a while into worrying about her, we held her upside down (to look at her vent) and a ton of black liquid poured out of her mouth. (😦) That's when we started to think sour crop. We tried feeding her some anti-yeast medicine and yogurt, but she wasn't really into either. It's been several weeks since then and she's acting less lethargic, mostly normal, still eating and drinking—but she still has the sludge.
How can I help her?? It seems like her crop may be empty-ish, and when I massage it, she sounds airy. No more pouring. TIA!!
