Made a video of the new little guys today. They are almost seven weeks old. Seems the YouTube channel process has changed? It's been a long time since trying to do it, let me know if it's not working.
First pullet is Isabel, the bulging-eyes napping chick that is developing slowly, she is behind everyone, and yet she is growing and hasn't faded away. I don't see the napping need increasing, for instance, which I am guessing would be a sign she can't do it anymore. She is surely enjoying everything she can for now.
Also have some pics will post soon.

Remember Petunia this past summer, and her impacted crop, she had the formatted grain breath and all.

5 weeks she was like that; I gathered the equipment to do a crop surgery but had some delays due to my theatre nurse (BIL) not being available.

In the meantime I had drenched (dosed) her a few times with Anti Gaz ( https://www.drugs.com/vet/anti-gaz-emulsion-can.html ) which is used for colic and constipation, it helps to break up impactions.

I was also massaging her crop a couple times a day.

Then on the day we were going to so the surgery, I checked her that morning to do the massage and it was gone! To say I was freaked out would be a simple statement. I imagined I had somehow ruptured the crop and the contents were floating around in there.

But she seemed fine so I just kept an eye on her, and a few days later she went into a heavy moult.

Now a few months later she is looking great and I haven’t seen her crop impacted.

I can only assume that the Anti Gaz did it’s job and helped break up the material stuck there for over 5 weeks.

I would try some Anti Gaz and massage. Also limit her intake.

What dosage do you use please?
 
Tonight’s line up ladies and gentlemen, is everyone is in the coop (who is supposed to be there) CeeCee was last in again tonight, but Blue covered for her, running outside of the coop and distracting me. Then they both went in and perched. That little rooster who had such a traumatic experience was in there too, but I noticed on deeper inspection he had a wing clipped also. He was obviously set to be someone’s fighting rooster, but escaped back into my beloved tribe. With his first molt, I believe he might grow those new feathers that were so cruelly taken from him.
