Crop goop thick as concrete

[grnidone]

My little 5 week old hen either has pendulous crop or she got into something that is causing her system to slow.
Last night, she had a HUGE crop that was squishy like one of those gel stress balls and when I picked her up to try to massage it down, she immediately puked it up. It was dark brown and runny, but disnr

I gave her some monistat cream and put her to bed.

Today, she was still squishy around noon but eating furiously like she was hungry. I continued the monistat treatment, and checked her tonight.

Once again, HUGE drooping crop that was swollen.

This time, I made her vomit and what came out was literally the consistency of wet concrete. (It didn’t run at all.) There was a good 2.5 cups with probably another cup still in her crop.

Unsure of what to do, I made a crop bra for her out of a maxi pad and some athletic tape to hold up her crop and put her to bed in my tub.

I will check her tomorrow morning, and hopefully, her crop will clear.

I am unsure what she got into that has slowed her system.

Any ideas from the vomit?

Also, will she outgrow pendulous crop, if she has this?

Can I see a picture of her?

Check the crop first thing in the morning before the bird has had anything to eat/drink-see if the crop is empty.
Checking at night or in the middle of the day when the bird has been eating - it's hard to gauge crop function.
