What are you feeding?
Photos of the brooder setup please, plus all the chicks.
How is heat provided?
Do you provide grit?
I still would not press the crop to make her vomit, you risk her aspirating on fluids.
If you need to separate her out, make water available, keep her warm. See if the crop goes down over the course of a day.
If chicks are under a light 24/7 they eat all the time, it's very hard to gauge crop function when they are continually eating.
Is she acting lethargic?
What guidelines did you follow? Got a link for that?

They eat chick starter and chick grit. They are under constant heat light. Clean water and food on demand. I got directions on line from chicken vet's . Hold chick forward and gently squeeze crop to make chick vomit. No chocking or air restriction on baby chick. She acted normal last night. This AM crop swollen and bulging again. Breeder said to give her small amt of bread soaked in olive oil and water. She has taken.that well and I've been keeping her isolated and warm since
She is sleeping a lot today. I posted her pics and poop already. Here is the set up.
