All my babies are sick i think

Are you sure it’s sour crop? What are their symptoms? I’m taking it that the bird is in the early stages of sour crop, so I would advise you gently massage the crop downwards, that will help it go down.
What food do they eat? And how cleanly is the coop? Sour crop can be caused by a dirty environment.
Maybe it's not sour crop then....there coop is cleaned weekly and they free roam so there only in it at night her crop is not emptying, its soft and squishy....and when I massage it she gurgles, they are feed purina chick starter meticated
 
What this mean she does this thing when she extends her next or after I get done massaging crop it's like a hickup but no noise just movement. She isnt lethargic but she does puff up to hid it....I know she on the verge of being lethargic....I put her is this to she is not dumb...cause they peck everything

Why don't you put her back with her flock.

Feel of her crop when she goes to roost at night (dusk), don't put any food or water in their housing at all at night. Then go out and feel of her crop again first thing before you give her food and water.

If the crop has emptied by morning, there's nothing to worry about.

Do provide your chicks with grit (crushed granite).

If you are massaging and manipulating the crop when she's been eating and drinking, then she's going to be adjusting and stretching her neck. Chickens do not have a gag reflex, likely you are pushing the contents of the crop up and around, so she's readjusting it.

That's the problems it wont empty and it's like full of water she puked clear liquid today

She puked the water when you picked her up or right after she was drinking?

Tell you what. Take out her food water. Let her sleep in the dark, recheck her crop in the morning before you give her food or water.

Get some photos of her overnight poop and tell us what her crop is like in the morning.
It's almost 11pm your time, she should have been sleeping this whole time from dusk, without food and water, see what it's like in the morning when she wakes up.

I took food away for 24 hrs and water for 12 and it went down a little...but what next?

If you already took away her food for 24 hours, then anything in her crop is not just food. If she had water but no food all day, she was probably drinking a lot because she was hungry, so her crop WOULD have water but no food in it. That bit is perfectly normal.

She may have something stuck, but if so it's not just food and it's not something that will move easily.

If no-one provides any better advice, I would let her have food again during the day, every day, because you certainly don't want her to starve. If the food is able to make its way past the blockage, she can at least get some nourishment from it, even if there is still a lump of something in her crop.
 
@Lenny loves chickens how was her crop first thing this morning.

After you feel the crop to see if it's emptied or not, offer her food and water. Never withhold water during waking hours. I generally never withhold feed either even if I'm treating a bird for crop symptoms. They seem to know to limit food intake instinctively or that's what I have observed with my own flock.

She's only been getting yogurt?

Let her with her flock to spend the day doing chick things, eating and drinking.
When she goes to bed, recheck her crop to see what it feels like, then again first thing before she eats/drinks.

Do you provide grit for your chicks? If you don't, then I highly recommend that you do.
