We have about a 2 week old Chick, hatched in the Bator. This poor little guy has been a struggle. He had curl toe in both feet. After 48 hours in shoe's only 1 would correct. We tried again foot would still not correct, and now trying to correct it, it caused it to go splay leg. I then noticed yesterday it's Crop is impacted, so we took it's food away. Have been feeding it water via syringe, and massaging crop. It doesn't seem to want to go down. Seems like it's even bigger tonight. Also noticed the leg that won't correct is swollen. I can really use some suggestions. Please. Sorry duplicate, didn't mean to post twice. Tried to delete this

Try vegetable oil or olive oil (small amount) and hold the chick at a slight down angle while messaging the crop. Let the chick breath between messages. This should lossen the ball or help the chick chuck it up.
