Crop help please!

Continue to give her coconut/olive oil and massage 5~10 minutes several times a day. If there's no improvement, give her docusate sodium one gel or pill per day in addition to oil/massaging. Don't forget to give her probiotics everyday. Plain yogurt will work.

Thank you!

I want to clarify:
- I will begin administering oil via syringe (approx. 1.5 ml) a minimum of 3 times a day paired with a 5-10 minute crop massage.
- She is getting antifungal cream also via syringe 2x a day which will continue
- As far as food, she is getting a small amount of crumble and water mash (it's more liquidy than mash) and has access to grit and water at all times. I will add about 2 tablespoons of yogurt to this mixture for probiotic as well.
- She is separated from the other 16 weekers so I can moderate her food and poop during the day. At night, I rejoin them with access to water.

From here:
- Should I attempt the liquid corid in her water?
- Begin docusate sodium as well?
- Is there anything I should be doing different as far as food?

I am very much willing to try anything but I don't want to overdo it with attempting medication/remedies, if that makes sense?

I would suggest you try corid in water first. If crop massaging and Corid didn't do the trick, then start docusate sodium for 2 days.

Thank you! I will stop at tractor supply today and grab some. If it doesn't get better in 2 days or so, we'll try the docusate.
Do you think the offering of food mixture is appropriate? I don't want to withhold food for too long but also want to help!

The food is fine. I even don't wet it, since my girl doesn't like her chick feed wet. The crumbles will not clog her digestion system. No, you shouldn't stop giving her food/water. Food/water intake will help her digestion system moving.
