hi-

One of my two 2 week old BRs has what I think is an impacted crop (distended, feels firm and fibrous).I have searched the threads, and tried to follow the advice. I have given olive oil, held food, and am massaging her crop. I had already added ACV to their water (since the day I got them). Some of threads say to seperate the chicks. I've moved both girls into the house (chily tonight and I want to keep a close eye on her).I have her in a seperate "cage" (laundry hamper ICU!), but both of the siblings seem so upset to be apart that I fear I'm doing more harm than good. Why am I seperating them again?
 
If your well BR is not picking on your sick BR I would keep them together to reduce the stress level. Keep doing what you are doing for the chick with the impaction. It sounds like you are doing everything that can be done.
