day 2 of "treatment" update:
By dusk, when I returned her to the coop, the mass has gone down to less than a golf ball, around 2 to 3 tablespoons, and it is a lot more softer and pliable than yesterday.
Poops: after the 2 liquid poops from this morning after the stool softener, the rest were solid and dry. A little bit more dry than normal.
Analysis when I pried them open: The "bad" contents in the poop I found are: rocks/ grit, tough pieces of grass, oyster shells, and a little bit of egg shells. There is less dirt and egg shells than yesterday.
Also, her last poop was a cecal (and a normal next to it), and I think that is the only cecal she pooped from yesterday and today, since it was the only poop that smelled bad. She also pooped more often than yesterday, around every 45 minutes instead of over an hour.
Food: this afternoon, I offered her soaked pellets (soaked just enough that the pellets absorbed the water), and she didn't want them. I later tried giving her dry pellets, some steamed eggs (changes from this morning: no coconut oil in the eggs and less water), and also some yogurt. She ate the eggs and dried pellets, and took two bites out of the yogurt. She would always look at the yogurt, and then shake her head and then leave.
And later in the evening she ate all of the soaked pellets from earlier by herself.
Other notes from today: I took away almost all of her grit today, along with the oyster shells, since she's pooping them out whole. I also raised her cage (its only the perimeter, no top or bottom) higher so she has more space to stand taller, which I think is better for her since when she stands tall her crop is higher than her gizzard. Lastly, I let her walk around the garage between massages, since the space she's in is pretty small. She was very happy, and as usual, wanted to peck everything, so I kept a very very close eye on her to make sure she didn't eat anything she shouldn't now.
Speaking of massages, I did more today, and I think it really helped. She enjoys them a lot too.
(Keeping a detailed record of everything for myself, and also maybe it can help someone too.)
Tomorrow, ill be doing the same as today. Praying that her crop will get smaller tonight.
