You know what though, you tried your best! I think you did the right thing. At least she isn't suffering anymore. You could always open her up and look at her neck and crop and see if there is any sign of something you could look out for if another chicken ends up with it. Just a...
final update on her. . .
I went to check on her and noticed her legs and lower body was stiff as a board . . . i couldnt take it no more and did what i had to do
now my girlfriend is making me feel bad and calling me Jason Vorhees lol

there is no foul smell, and the reason i dont think its her crop is because you virtually feel nothing in the crop. I think everything is digested, and shes not eating anything
right now, she has started trembling. . first time i have seen her do that. I just dont want this to keep...

right now she cannot walk on her own.
I bought terra-vet and im trying to figure out how much 200-400 grams is. I have been to 5 different stores and nobody has scales that measure in mg

I have separated the chick from the others.
She is still 'gasping' and seems very week, feet are folded under her and very lame. .
I picked up some tylosin . . will try giving her that.
