To make a long story short, I am 99% sure I fed my birds bad fermented feed. Two of the four seem to have recovered this morning, after a day of only water, and the other two still have slow/squishy crops. No odor. Yesterday both started vomiting after I simply picked them up and carried them out of the run... one (Carolina) vomited only liquid, the other (Queen Peach) had a lot of undigested stuff coming up - it wouldn't stop, and I'm almost certain she aspirated something at some point. It was very scary.
Anyway, what do you do if you poison your flock??? How would you treat? A vet is not an option here... not a viable one anyway.
The two that are better this morning got only easily digestible food this morning (apple chunks, cucumber, and some bean sprouts). The other two still only have water. Their crops are not empty but not full --- and still squishy. They're very low energy but still drinking on their own. I honestly thought that Queen Peach wouldn't make it through the night, it was that bad. But she's alert this morning and moving slowly (she's quarantined inside, Carolina is in semi-quarantine outside). I know there's probably very little hope for her, but she's super special and I can't give up on her yet.
