@casportpony WAKE up!
@silkiekeeper I am stuck here. I am not sure what if anything you should do right now.

Is she not drinking the Corid water on her own?

No. She won't eat either.

I'm wondering if now is a good time to start massaging her crop.

. I am not sure but think it is.

 

[Kiki]

Sit tight until @casportpony wakes.

 

[Matilda Belle]

Ok. I won't do anything yet.

 

[Kiki]

Ok. I won't do anything yet.

Does her mouth smell?

 

[Matilda Belle]

No.

 

[Kiki]

No.

good.

When you feel the crop, what is it like - doughy, fluid, etc.?
Massage or knead the crop being careful not to push the contents up for risk of aspirating her. Massage several times today.

I would withhold food for the day only give water free choice. If the crop feels boggy, see if she will take some coconut oil - I use the organic unprocessed kind, it tastes like coconut and my chickens will readily eat chunks of it. Don't force fluids or oil down her.

It feels like a balloon.
