[Firsttimehens1234]

ANOTHER UPDATE: i Think her sour crop have transformed into impacted crop. She is eating week and I’m about to go and see if I can see a egg in her. She can also walk now and have a lot more energy. I will also go and massage her crop

That's terrific news. But you need to observe her for a bit longer in case she has another egg following right behind this one. Often, two eggs are involved in egg binding. If you haven't given a calcium tablet your, do so. Give her water to drink and she can have food if she will eat it.

Is she perking up and behaving more normally? Describe her behavior.

She layed her egg around 10:30 am, still no second egg. She got a calcium tablet at around 8 am and drank all the calsium water.

She is very aware and looks around. She has pooped one very big poop and 3 small poops. Her tail is where it normally sits and not down like before. She is very thirsty.
I will give her some more food,what do you think that should be bc I’m thinking she might have a impacted crop and I don’t want to make that worse.
She will stay inside at least for another day mabye more if it turn out her crop is actually impacted

Excellent. As far as the crop goes, try giving a teaspoon of coconut oil followed immediately by crop massage. Using fingers, kneed the crop, focusing on center mass. Try to get it to break up.

Plan on a five minute massage without stopping. Push the contents toward the "drain" going into the proventriculus. Give another teaspoon of the oil and massage until the contents have broken up and have moved out of the crop. Then let her eat and drink to further move the contents of the crop out.

Yes, feed her normally, and eggs and yogurt are fine.

I have just Messaged her crop for a bit without any oil bc I don’t currently have any but my mom is out buying it. Her crop feels squishy and I don’t feel any big lumps like Earlier today. She is also going to sleep but I will update tomorrow. She does also poop,not much and it’s pretty black but she poops she have also only gotten scrambled eggs today so that might explain it.
