Chick smell Sour on Head/ Face

[Vickischics]

I noticed a pungent sour/yeast smell on my lil 14 day old Polish silver lace. The crop feels firm after eating. Looked in her mouth. Small patch noted. Vent and nostrils are clear. I messaged her pretty firm crop. It did seem tender when gently messaging it. She pushed into my fingers. In a few minutes she/he pooped. Picture attached. The next picture is the poop 30 minutes later. I have coconut oil and ACV. What should I do next? And how much do I give? Shes/hes more quite this morning when i got home from work.
Need to know how much coconut oil to give and concentration of ACV:H2O ratio. How much yogurt and how do I administer the above.
Please and Thank you for your help.

Sorry no one replied sooner.
How is the chick doing?
Have you since isolated this chick to determine crop function (full at night, empty in the morning)?
What is her normal diet?
Has she been exposed to the ground yet?

Yes, I was persistent and posted on a different section of Raising Babies asking for " I need sour crop directions".
Thankfully, I was directed to a very good article but, because of my emotional state, (LOL) it was overwhelming. I have since read it and it is good. It was also suggested that perhaps the stool picture was a sign of coccidiosis. I had my vet check it and it was not...Thank God. I do feed Medicated Chick Start n Grow.
Yes, my bad on two accounts.
1. I put the chicks in my small animal trap to expose them to the Pullets and, #2 they got to dig around on the ground.
Lesson learned. Ugg.
I think thats when they got nailed.
Idk. But, all is getting better.
Thank you for replying.

Well... being on the ground is not a bad thing. Quite the contrary I think it helps them build their immunity faster if they are on the ground quite young. My broodies have their chicks on the ground on day 2.
But, I'm glad to read that she is getting better!!
That article you were directed to was written by Azygous if it's the one I'm thinking of and it is an excellent article to keep bookmarked. I used some of her advice with a pullet with a partially impacted slow crop. She fully recovered in three days after her treatment.

I am so happy to hear that. "She recovered in three days". Yesterday, I was not sure if she would even live. Today, I have hope.
Idk if that article is the same that you reference. Here is the article link.
