Hannah’s favorite show chicken, Liz, a four year old Speckled Sussex hen, stopped eating. She had a large swelling on the neck. It was a pendulous crop filled with foul smelling fluid, food, and water. The crop is an expanded pocket of the esophagus that stores excess food. We fitted Liz with a crop bra to prevent distension and prescribed a different chicken feed. Her show career was over and Liz changed her name to Dolly (Parton). She was hired by Chicktoria’s Secret as a bra model.
