7 week chick crop is so full she is unbalanced

[CeilidhChick]

I have a new chick. Her crop is so full that she is top heavy and slightly off balance. Her waste is liquid, the color of brown mustard and sort of slimy. When I gently squeezed her crop it felt like a bean bag. I have isolated her from the other chicks. Is there anything I can do to help her?

Try giving her oil and massaging her crop,does she have access to grit? Search forums for impacted crop,lots of information on how to deal with this issue.
