If it is impacted, it will usually be large and very hard, full of stuff that cannot pass. Sour crop feels like a half filled water balloon to me, sort of gassy. One of mine died, but she had a bit of a pendulous crop most of the time, plus she was in a fierce molt. The other one recovered beautifully with the treatment I described. The one who died was being taken to the house to assess her when she died in our arms.
