Crop Yeast Infection/increasing body condition

I always put acv in my birds water for a week every month to prevent any yeast infections and to boost their immunes.

I have been using ACV for MONTHS! I reluctantly even made a stronger shot in a syringe & gave about 2cc.
I can feel the Lump breakdown. Also 1/4 tab of a 200mg Ibuprofin is a must(I use the Generic ROUND Brown/Red ones at CVS & wipe the coating off before using a pill cutter). I usually like to hide it in an under ripe Black Berry. I have even used under ripe Strawberries cut into little pieces. IF YOU CATCH THIS QUICK & THE BIRD IS YOUNG YOU WILL HAVE A BETTER CHANCE.

Here is the Problem & I will TRY to be short on the explanation. The Lump hides in the bottom R.(facing Bird) because its farthest away from the Crop opening. When the Vinegar breaks down the Yeast ball/swollen spot on the Crop it turns to slime(snot like) & releases air. The Air sends everything upward into the Throat causing regurgitation. The Ibuprofin Helps with this & the Intestinal swelling from all the Yeast passing through HOWEVER IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET IT ALL TO PASS. IT BECOMES A VICIOUS CYCLE. I HAVE LOST 80% OF MY FLOCK FROM "CROP FUNGUS". I HAVE BEEN AT IT FOR "2 YEARS NOW"!

Part of my Problem is I'm treating 1 Hen/1 Rooster. The Hen is Older & so her Crop is more stretched out. The Sagging of the Crop allows the Mucus to find pockets & not filter.
I HAVE MADE A CROP BRA FOR BOTH! THIS CRAP IS VERY CONTAGIOUS SO IF ONE IS REGRESSING THEN THE OTHER SUFFERS BECAUSE THEY ARE SO SOCIAL. I CAN'T SEPARATE THE ROOSTER OR THIS CAUSES STRESS ALONG WITH "TIPPING YOUR BIRD " IN AN ATTEMPT TO DUMP MUCUS. ITS ALSO VERY DANGEROUS & IF THERE IS A LOT OF MUCUS IT CAN BLOCK THEIR AIRWAY CAUSING MORE STRESS. STRESS IS YOUR ENEMY BIGTIME!!!! I HAVE EVEN TRIED USING ORGANIC LACTOSE FREE KIEFER. FYI: CHICKENS GET STRESSED FROM YOGURT FOR "CROP FUNGUS" IT HAS TOO MUCH SUGAR PER VOLUME & LACTOSE TURNS TO SUGAR!
THIS MAY WORK FOR "INTESTINAL" TO SOME DEGREE. THEY REFUSED YOGURT BUT WENT FOR THE KIEFER FOR AWHILE. I TRIED OXINE /OREGANO OIL WHICH ALSO WORKED BUT NEVER KICKED IT.

I HAVEN'T GONE BACK TO THIS SINCE THE CROP BRA SO I "MAY" GIVE THIS A TRY BEFORE GIVING UP. IF YOU DECIDE TO USE A CROP BRA YOU WANT TO FEEL FOR THE "V" CUT WHICH YOU CAN FEEL THROUGH THE EMPTY CROP. THE BOTTOM OF THE BRA NEEDS TO BE LINED UP WITH THE BOTTOM TIP OF THE"V". LOOKING AT A PICTURE OF A CHICKENS ANATOMY WILL BE VERY HELPFUL. YOU WILL ALSO NEED TO BE ABLE TO DO SOME HAND STITCHING WHILE ITS ON TO DIAL IT IN & "TRY" TO SWAY THE CROP MUSCLE TO THE LEFT(FACING BIRD). THIS IS AN ATTEMPT TO GET MORE SLIME TO LEAVE THE CROP. I HAVE BEEN FEEDING STRAWBERRIES MIXED WITH A HINT OF ACV,,A HINT OF VITAMIN(AVOID ELECTROLYTES/SALT IF YOU CAN) . I'M USING SAFFLOWER SEED & "THEY CHOOSE" TO ONLY EAT IT. GRAIN/,PELLET IS A NO NO FOR THIS PROBLEM ALTHOUGH THEY MAY BE TEMPTED TO EAT IT. SOON THEY REALIZE IT MAKES IT WORSE,

YOU "MAY" HAVE SUCCESS WITH MEDISTATIN(ANTIFUNGAL POWDER) BUT IF YOU GO THIS ROUTE YOU CAN STILL USE ACV. I SUGGEST "LIGHTLY" COATING SAFFLOWER SEED WITH ORGANIC COCONUT OIL THEN SPRINKLE YOUR MEDISTAIN POWDER ACCORDING TO DOSE(CONSULT LADY GOUDIAN FINCH ONLINE FOR DOSE). ALL BIRDS HAS A LITTLE BETTER PRICE BUT GAVE ME BAD INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE. I WILL STOP THERE BUT ITS BEEN A MAJOR ROLLER COASTER RIDE. YOU WILL SEE I HAVE MULTIPLE POSTS ON THIS. JUST WHEN I THINK I'M GOING TO FINALLY BEAT IT SOMETHING GOES SOUTH WITH THE HEN & THEN THEY BOTH REGRESS.

I WILL TELL YOU THAT NOW THAT ITS GETTING WARM I PARTIALLY FREEZE THEIR ACV WATER & THEY LIKE IT BETTER BECAUSE THE ICE CAUSES THE LUMP TO RELEASE(SWELLING). I HAVE EVEN TRIED FLUCONAZOLE/ITRACONAZOLE. MY HUSBAND THINKS I'M NUTS FOR ALL THE TIME & MONEY I HAVE SPENT.

ONE FINAL NOTE. BE SURE TO INSPECT YOUR ROOF ON YOUR CHICKEN HOUSE ESPECIALLY IF IT HAS LEAKED AT ALL & ESPEC. IF IT HAS SHINGLES!!!! THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED TO ME & YOU COULDN'T SEE IT. IT WAS A BRAND NEW ROOF TO TOP THAT OFF BUT WASN'T TILTED/CONSTRUCTED RIGHT. THE MOLD SPORES WERE DROPPING ON THEM & THEIR FOOD!
GOOD LUCK & GOD BLESS!
