eastcoaster Posted January 28, 2018 Report Posted January 28, 2018 After vaccinating yesterday one of my yearling cocks crop has inflated with air any ideas about easy release ,have used a needle to puncture his crop but not sure if it worked.
andy Burgess Posted January 28, 2018 Report Posted January 28, 2018 After vaccinating yesterday one of my yearling cocks crop has inflated with air any ideas about easy release ,have used a needle to puncture his crop but not sure if it worked. i have done this procedure a few times Colin . the syringe rarely works well , i found better to "nick" the area . if you need to massage , then do so . also found it best to release the bird back into the loft as the action helps to deflate the area
Kyleakin Lofts Posted January 28, 2018 Report Posted January 28, 2018 Had similar happen to one of my hens. I used a syringe needle to puncture the crop, then applied slight pressure to deflate. This was yesterday and she appeared OK today, but I will keep an eye on the situation.

paddymac Posted January 28, 2018 Report Posted January 28, 2018 Just use a sterile needle to puncture the crop and gently massage the crop to release the trapped air from the crop

yeboah Posted January 29, 2018 Report Posted January 29, 2018 Do you need to stitch it afterwards mick ?Hi ColinIts just a small cut which will let the air out ,just a wee touch of vasaline over the cut and it will be fine

Roland Posted January 29, 2018 Report Posted January 29, 2018 Have had sometimes a pigeon's crop filled with air. After reading some on it and remedies, I followed in the main ... just a *expletive removed* and gentle squeeze. You will hear the wheeze as it is coming out. It worked wonders quickly and put to right in no time, and certainly seemingly not any stress regards the bird. I am a Diabetic, and it is no different that than when I *expletive removed* myself and test for my blood count each morning.
leslie24williams49 Posted February 6, 2018 Report Posted February 6, 2018 Small cut in crop,should be OK.
eastcoaster Posted February 7, 2018 Author Report Posted February 7, 2018 Bird is fine now but had to cut his crop several times ,after seeking vetenary advice gave him a respiratory treatment for 2 days and that done the trick . Every day a school day .
fieldwalker Posted February 7, 2018 Report Posted February 7, 2018 I will remember that for future reference....maybe i better write it down
Williedoo Posted February 7, 2018 Report Posted February 7, 2018 Bird is fine now but had to cut his crop several times ,after seeking vetenary advice gave him a respiratory treatment for 2 days and that done the trick . Every day a school day . If the cock is rousing after you deflate the crop it will just fill up again. Better to put it in a basket for a couple of days to keep it quite and let the damage heal.
