How many chickens are affected? Do you think this is vent gleet? That is a fungal (yeast) infection and may also affect the crop. How does her crop feel—empty, full, soft and puffy, doughy, or firm? Does she have a bad odor, or any constant dripping from her vent? What are you feeding? Do you clean and disinfect your waterers and feeders regularly? Have you tried giving some of the yeast cream orally a couple of times a day? Medistatin powder for pigeons can be mixed with water and given a couple of times a day. It is sold online and is the same antifungal drug Nystatin used in people for oral yeast infections. Here is a good article about treating vent gleet:
