I've had the same issue. I took my girl to the vet, they did a crop lavage, she did have impacted crop which then eventually damaged her reproductive organs and unable to lay. She takes GI tract liquid meds 3x a day with pain meds. If untreated or cleared, the crop will become pendulum and...

I'm having a hard time with my little girl Jess. Thank you for the warmth and kindness

Thank you so much @LaFleche I really hope this helps. I'm scared she's going to pass any day now.
