Hello,
A few days ago I noticed my chicken was sitting in the nesting box. She didn't want to jump up to the perch. I brought her inside and looked her over. I had just recently ( A day before ) lost one of my chickens from aspiration. We attempted to empty her crop by turning her over and massaging the crop. I let her be for about an hour, and when I came back she had passed. Now with the current chicken, she appears to be fine physically. She still has muscle build up on her bottom side. Shes still walking and standing. The only noticeable concern is the throw up (which is like 3 drops.), and her comb appears to be a light colored red, and is tilted to the side, also her poop color appears to be a green color. Sometimes its watery and sometimes its like normal. She appears to be acting normal, and not in pain. Her crop also doesn't appear to be emptying. It wasn't hard, but it felt like there was something in it. I read about it, some people said it could be sour crop. Because I was outside and the wind was gusting, I wasn't able to get a smell of it. Is there any other suggestions other then making her throw up? I'm 13 and I love those chickens like they are my kids. It was really hard for me watching my one go, and I will be distraught if my other one goes. If you have any suggestions can you please leave them bellow or email me VIA [ [email protected] ]? She is eating and drinking. She will casually drink the water with pro-biotics and electrolytes in it.
Thank you so much!

PS:
She also has a little bit of a limp because of a bumble foot issue. Any suggestions for that other then cutting?:
