Chick with stuff on tongue and mouth( think caked food.

She's been eating/drinking in the photos correct?

Check first thing the morning before she eats/drinks to see about the crop status.
This morning before she ate it felt smaller than yesterday but hard what was in there. I massaged it and it went down. These photos are this morning and it was a little bit of water in it. After she drank water I took pics and then get and really all I could feel was water

She had some but not a lot. The first two days it was really small. The next morning it was bigger. I isolated for a little bit but then put her back. I’m about to go check her. She’s just waking up
It looks pretty flat this morning.

I'd just monitor her crop for several more days. I wouldn't separate her out unless she's getting picked on. If you find it's necessary to treat her crop, just pull her aside every day and treat her. I leave my birds with their flock since it's really stressful to be separated.

Ok that is what I’ll do. Her crop is mostly emptying every night but just not fully. It’s a little different each day. But I’m not sure that she has sour crop but I’ve also never seen it. This morning there a very small amount but it was hard and compacted and I couldn’t get it to breakup and go down like yesterday. I will give her some olive oil today to see if that will help break it up in there.
