Hi
I finally got some pictures.
The chick is 11 days old Cuckoo marans
Was on paper towel that was on top of wood shavings so it could of eat some but I don't think so.
They are now on a wire flooring.
Chick does eat but the crop has been bloated since Friday night or before.
I have it in a hospital cage with two buddies for now with water with ACV in it and Yogurt no crumbles right now but they were eating medicated crumbles from Kent.
The pics aren't the greatest but I tried to show the bloat in there. I don't feel any food it just feels like air or water.
I have been rubbing it and we are thinking we may have to drain it. We are unsure how to drain right now. I tried holding her upside down and squeezing the crop but nothing came out. I probably wasn't squeezing hard enough.
Before I removed her from the others she was eating. and it seemed she couldn't get enough a few times but like I said I don't feel food in there just bloat.

Well, this am the chick still has a bloated crop. I with held food al night just left in the acv water. I just gave her some egg yolk and yogurt. I have to leave for work in an hour, I'm hoping when I get home the yogurt will of helped a bit.
 
I managed to get a little of the stuff out of her. I have some Medistatin coming it should be here within three days. I used to breed parrots and today I used one of my 1cc syringes and gave her yogurt mixed with acv twice. Hopefully that will help some. The bloating did seem down a bit this pm.
 
Well, this am I got a lot of the white foam out of her crop. Poor thing then for the first time is seemed fairly flat. It then seemed to refill. I mixed yogurt and acv and got 1cc in her. I think the acv and yogurt mix is helping. When I put her back in the hospital cage I sprinkled some crumbles on the yogurt and she ate it.
