HELP chicken doing weird motion with her chest and acting sick

[duckabs]

the crop area is squishy and i have been massaging it for the past two days.

She needs space as described above, so maybe you could separate a part of the coop for her using chicken wire. But it is important that she will not be able to reach for the bedding or feed of the others.

A nice cage would be best:

yes thank you, sorry i did not see that before. that dog cage is actually very similar to the one she is in maybe a bit smaller but not by much and she can move around just fine. thanks again

The double door crate is most helpful for treating a crop patient.
Once I got the impaction clump broken up with Coconut Oil,
she needed 6 days of miconazole for the sour crop.
Crop is still slightly pendulous, but mostly empties now.

how did you feed her the coconut oil?

how did you feed her the coconut oil?

I tried feeding it direct and she'd grab it up but often fling it off her beak.
So I warmed/melted it and mixed it in with her regular crumble feed(1 tsp CO with 1 TBSP crumble) let it soak in for a bit and she'd gobble it up spilling/wasting little of it.
Did the same with the miconazole(1-2" squirt with 1 TBSP crumble).

At the drug store. Used store brand yeast infection cream.

Her poops start getting better after a few days, the lump in her crop took all 6 days to go from tennis ball sized to less than golf ball sized.

ok. but her crop is much bigger than a tenis ball though
