Help! Crop trouble!

Date sort Score sort
Update: I have massaged her crop several times today and given her coconut oil chunks and epsom salt water. I offered a bit of banana and cole slaw (today's leftovers) tonight that she didn't really eat. She hasn't drank much and I don't know if she's pooping😬. Hoping she'll pass it overnight....? It's just so sandy I don't know if it's gonna move.
 
She needs the nutrition of her own food. Wet it down to make a thin gruel, she might find that attractive and it has the benefit of helping to hydrate her. You might also offer egg yolk for nutrients. As long as her crop is blocked, not much is going to get down to her gizzard to be digested.

Okay! I will start doing this instead, thank you!
 
Morning update: Miss Diane perched herself and got comfy last night all by herself! I released her from her pen in the coop and blocked the run off so she can't eat any more sand. She seemed to enjoy hanging out with her flock mates for the evening. This morning her crop was only about 2 thirds full now! I'm happy some drained over night. I offered more banana (one of her favorites) but plan to give her some wet feed as recommended 😊 . The consistency of her crop contents seemed to have changed as well. Instead of feeling like compacted sand that kept my finger's impressions when touched, it feels softer and like it'll move through easier. Thank you all so much for your help! Should I continue to give her oil and massages throughout the day like I did yesterday?
