Just do the best you can. If you can only give once daily, then I'd extend the treatment period for a couple of days.Thank you!
The problem is I go back to work on Monday, and the 2x daily on the Nystatin is going to be extremely difficult.

Could she possibly have had a bit to eat before you got there? Maybe she had a tiny bit of feed in her crop? Good it was moving down.Lydia was still resting under the wheelbarrow. Her crop was hard but after about 15 seconds of massage I could feel it going down.
You are still giving the coconut oil too, right?Update

Lydia was still resting under the wheelbarrow. Her crop was hard but after about 15 seconds of massage I could feel it going down. I gave her the meds, but she wasn't interested in taking tomato bits from my fingers. I put her in the brooder with fresh water, tomato bits, and a plate of her usual chicken (chick) crumbles. I'll check on her after we get home from church.
No, I stopped that, as I was cautioned here about syringing oil into her mouth. I then began feeding her eggs with coconut oil.You are still giving the coconut oil too, right?
I am discouraged. And I have to go back to work tomorrow.Don't get discouraged. You are doing great!!
I usually just give small hardened chunks of coconut oil, if they don't eat it, I pop the pieces into the beak.No, I stopped that, as I was cautioned here about syringing oil into her mouth. I then began feeding her eggs with coconut oil.
She then refused eggs with oil, and I thought the stool softener was replacing the oil.
Today Lydia didn't eat anything I left for her. When I let her out after church she got a drink from the waterer, then went under the wheelbarrow again. I offered her moistened feed, and a couple grape bits, she wouldn't touch them.

Yes, her eye was dilated.I usually just give small hardened chunks of coconut oil, if they don't eat it, I pop the pieces into the beak.
I give the stool softener whole, it doesn't have to be squeezed out, the outer coating is just a gel coating, it will dissolve quickly once in the crop.
Is her eye dialated? Just asking. You don't see lice/mites right?
The only other thing I can suggest is to try a flush to see if that gets things moving. 1teaspoon Epsom salts to 1/2cup warm water tubed directly into the crop 2x a day for three days. If you can't do 2x a day, then do once.
Of course, asking other's suggestions is always encouraged, all I can recommend is what has worked for me and a few others I have helped. If azygous is on, you may want to give her a shout and see if she has better suggestions. She is very good with crop issues and another set of eyes to look at symptoms/photos and what you have done so far may see something I or others have missed.
