Has impaction turned sour crop but is still hungry and energetic?

She always has access to grit, yes. She is wanting to run around and free range but haven't been letting her.

Her poop is just liquid, maybe a little green stuff.

When my other shave had crop issues I've always seen improvement but now (smaller crop...not empty but smaller). This is what has me worried. She's now been given five doses of miconazole as well, in total. (Also garlic, little greek yogurt, coconut oil)

Keep doing the massages, the miconazole and see if you can source some digestive enzymes for her.

Also I think I’d let her run around, she might end up getting things moving more in her digestive tract that way.

I haven't seen her take in any grit. I actually popped three of four in her beak because I couldn't feel any either. That was the first day.

I did end up giving a stool softener this morning but again, had not done anything. She is eating watered down canned cat food.

I'm confused as to what enzymes to get, as welk a show many and how often?

Just something like a probiotic, they make them for chickens with dosage on the package. How is she today?
 
Have you continued crop massages and the miconazole?
Yes.

I'm doing massages, miconazole, chunks of coconut oil.

Today gave her one stool softener and added slippery elm bark and digestive enzymes.

She is eating very little but is looking for buga and eating some, plus watered down cat food with a touch of Greek yogurt in it.

I’m sorry you aren’t seeing improvement. Is she not eating her chicken feed? Is that why you’re doing the cat food?

I know you’re frustrated and doing everything you can. I’m really sorry :hugs Crop issues can be so frustrating to work through.

Keep working with her. The fact that she is molting could make things slower…is she pooping?
 
She's barely eating at all and has lost almost a pound. She has some runny poo, not a lot. She acts energetic still, surprisingly. I'm doing the cat food since it's more digestible with more moisture but she won't eat it now. Have her pumpkin and yogurt this morning to get ends in her.

This is day five, and day five of miconazole. Seems I need a different treatment plan. :(
