Hi all, my chicken Turkey had been dealing with a mysterious illness. At first I thought Sour Crop, because her breathe smelled, she has been slightly hunched, however it has been very cold. She acts more or less normal just the very bad breath and squishy stress ball like crop. I brought her in for a massage and she had this concerning poop. Any advice would be great.

I would try to give some chilled coconut oil cut into small pieces, up to 1-2 tsp daily. Follow that with massage of the firm or doughy crop several times a day, unless it is squishy. Giving an antifungal yeast cream, such as Monistat or miconazole twice a day can be beneficial. Here is a very good crop article as well:

I would not be too concerned over one poop like this. It may be mucus or cecal.
