I have a sick chicken infected crop any help would be greatly appreciated.

Rhode Island Blue, she has a infected crop I empty it out every morning and give her an Amoxicillin table twice a day. I have been doing this for several weeks and she is not getting any better, She poops fine doesn't eat a lot but has a large crop until I tip her upside down and push all of the infection out of her crop pretty nasty stuff. The rest of the flock our fine and they all are with her 24-7I think maybe she has a punkin seed blocking something and the food is rotting in her crop.

Have you tried giving some coconut oil and then doing 10-15 minutes of crop massage to see if you can get things moving?

Do they all have access to good grit?
