Try not to feed stuff like scratch grains right now. Try soft things, like scrambled eggs, applesauce mixed with yogurt, her feed wet down to a mash, or mixed with applesauce or yogurt. You get the idea here, I hope!

Glad she is doing better! Are you sure the brown goo isn't just the ceacal poo??? It can be kinda nasty, gooey and stinky. It is possible for sour crop to happen again. Just watch them.

Hoping it works!!!

YAY!!! Glad she is better!

Does it actually FEEL squishy? I have one chicken who is a mega-forager and she looks like your girl, but it is the proper kind of hardness for the crop. She is also the one who lays JUMBO eggs for me! So, make sure it FEELS balloony, squishy! If so, then try the monistat. I had an EE who...

Hoping for the best for you!

Oh, any would probably be ok. The choice would be up to you. I tend to use olive oil or canola oil... BTW, Mrcockerel, how is your chicken doing? Any improvement? I noticed on another thread you had posted about liquid coming up. Yes, that is sour crop. I have seen that happen in...

So, this is waking up and her crop is still a hard mass? If that is the case, it sound more like an impaction. In a healthy chicken, their crop is going to feel hard at night when they go to roost. In the morning, that hard lump should be gone. On sour crop, their crop is going to be smooshy...

I am no expert, however, it seemed when I treated mine, she started showing some improvement after about 24 hours and 3 doses. Am I understanding correctly that you have just given your Brahma the first dose of monistat? I fed my doses once in the morning and once in the evening for 4 days...

Here's hoping you see some improvement!!!

Yay! Glad she is better!!!

Sounding good GroveChickerynz!!! I think the oil is mostly used in case there is an impaction somewhere. I hope she has no more of those "beans"!!! But the oil should help if there is. Jlawson83, how is your baby today?

Wow! That is young! Has she had anything other than chick feed and water??? Is she eating the fluff you have in the brooder? Maybe start by trying to massage the mass to see if it is hard or squishy and move it around. Don't try to make her vomit. Have you offered the little ones grit...

I used the monistat 3 day suppositories when I had an EE with the sour crop. (She was under 18 weeks of age and small.) Kinda funny, she was not all that interested in eating other stuff, but for some reason, she really scarfed down the 1/4 bit of suppository I would hold out to her. I did...
