Crop Problems :P

Ok, so my Hen Bits got her eye VERY hurt, It's healing up fine now But there is another Problem.She was acting Great at first! she was strutting around trying to get outside, but she started doing nothing, Not eating or drinking only sleeping. I've been feeding her egg yolk and grapes because that's all she'll eat! she wants to eat but she just won't. I've also been making her drink water through a eyedropper.when she does eat, it looks like it's coming back up and she keeps smacking her beak, I've massaged it and air comes out.She is getting weak and I know its something to do with her crop.what do I do??

I have a similar problem with my roo, minus the eye injury. I think his crop may be impacted. Just bought some live maggots and stuffed a few in his beak, will keep doing this for a few days. Hopefully the little buggers will eat whatever is blocking. Did gapeworm test, nothing on q tip. No discharge from eyes or nose. I am sorry I have no help for you. I posted a few days ago and have not had any imput.

I did read that some olive oil soaked bread, or eye dropper with olive oil in it to try and move things around a bit. Massaging a few times a day as well. No free ranging and soft food, mine won't eat anything right now anyway. Bait shops sell live maggots. Ick, I had to touch the maggots.
