Could we give one to her tonight before soaking her?

 

[MissChick@dee]

Yes...please do.

You only need enough water to cover her lower half. Sometimes lay after the soak too. So take your time talk calmly to her.
If by chance she doesn’t pass it in the water after you get her nice and dry you can apply oil to her vent. Any kind will work Canola vegetable or olive any kind is good.

Her crop is still full and doughy feeling this morning. Any ideas what we can do for that?

Is she more alert or did she pass an egg?
Crop issues are often the result or a symptom of an underlying condition or illness.
If she has an egg stuck, has inflammation in the reproductive system, etc. that can slow the digestive process.
I would make water available to her. I usually start out with giving a little coconut oil, they will usually just eat that once they taste it, then gently massage the crop to see if you can break up what's in there and get things moving.
Another soak in warm epsom salts bath may also be helpful.

She passed the egg this morning. There was nothing to it.. no yolk and it was wrinkled. After she laid it she was panting a lot

Is she panting now?
Did you happen to take a photo of the egg she passed?

No yolk or white, was it collapsed? Does she have a discharge like the contents of the egg may have spilled out?

She’s not panting anymore just tired. No I didn’t take a picture of it. It was collapsed and her poops aren’t as runny as earlier they’ve got more white in it

I would let her rest, get some more calcium into her.
Keep her hydrated and work on massaging the crop a couple of times today.

I hope she perks up soon.
