Coconut oil for sour crop??

[Chikenlover3728]

Bought some coconut oil a few months ago in case of sour crop and opened it today and it’s yellow oily no mold or anything like that it’s used to be white creamy not it’s liquidy would it still be good to give?

It's normal, when it warms up it melts. Probably says something like that in the back of the jar.
it won't do anything for sour crop, though. But it's great for impacted crop

Ah okay so what’s the best bet for sour crop would it be garlic water with miconazole twice a day for 7 days with some Greek yogurt as food?

Yogurt only helps if has live cultures in it, it doesn't matter if it's normal or Greek, as long as it has those cultures. :]
I've personally never dealt with sour crop, but here's some good info.

And if a chicken were to have impacted crop how many teaspoons of coconut should they get? In a post it says 2 but it’s if it is still creamy.

It should be the same measurement but if you stick in the fridge, it will get solid again.

Ah okay I’ve dealt with sour crop and cleared their crops in 7 days with what I listed but haven’t dealt with impacted and the crop feels different but the hen is full of energy like normal could be that I’m looking to much into it since in the morning her crop felt like this then again she gots food on her feeder so in the morning they can eat and I have this other chicken who’s crop is similar and has been like that for a while

The best way to check would be remove the food and water at night, then feel her crop first thing to see if it's emptied.
If she's got access to food/water, then she's likely eating/drinking before you go check.

Yeah took off food forgot to take out water tho since it’s vitamin and electrolyte water since it’s gotten really hot and it helps a lot hopefully tomorrow morning her crop is empty.
