How do you help impacted crop?

Yesterday my chicken was not feeling great and I was suspecting that she had sour crop. Turned out she was egg bound and after she layed the egg she stopped smelling bad and Tim the morning it was not swollen just hard so I think she has an impacted crop. She have had some scrambled eggs today with some oil in it to get her on her feet after she layed the egg.
In an hour I’m gonna go and give her some oil I think and massage her crop a bit.

What else can I do?
 
There's a really good article on BYC about this. It helped me when I thought my bantam had an impacted crop.
I'm a newbie so can't really give my own advice, only that I didn't know how to give oil so I let her eat olive oil spread (my partner's expensive anti-cholesterol spread!).
 
Thank you all for the help,I will buy some coconut oil now and really hope for the best. It looks like mine hens has a minor impacted crop so hopefully she will survive😊
