I haven separated him, and will wait until morning (I pray he survives until then) to see if his crop goes down. His poop is watery, white with a slight red hint to it. He's very skinny. I'm shocked I didn't notice anything until now. He smells like a chicken... no funky smell.

I would guess that he has an impacted crop then. That's what happened with poor Ugly. I noticed that her crop looked full, but didn't really think anything of it, until I picked her up one day, and she was really, really thin. Poor thing. There are a couple posts on here about how to do a crop surgery. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/229796/crop-surgery-performed-more-pics-how-to-steps-posted-pg-10

I think @casportpony posted that giving them water through tube feeding can help break up what ever is in their crop.

A full crop can also mean that the dying process has started. Are his legs and feet warm or cold?

First free range introduction of Orps and Delawares went well. Of course they were not together that long but they did get to say hello to each other. Seemed to go well. We will work on it some more but I am encouraged. The dels are suffering a bit in the heat though. What can you do they have plenty of water. I may put another non nipple water source out for them tomorrow.

I check both coops, and the poop isn't abnormal.... what I do find abnormal is the amount of sick chickens that have been posted about today..

I mean, what's up with that?

The second chick just died. It was acting zombie-like, then I watched it spasm and die. I really don't understand this. I feed my chicks medicated feed (which is supposed to help), they always have clean water, and have lots of space to roam.

Awww man....so sorry...

Here's my little guy now.

Poor guy......
