I need help someone please help me

You had people asking questions on your other thread that went unanswered, so will try one more time
https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/help-my-chick-is-sick-im-worried-someone-help.1276131/

How old are the chicks?
What are you feeding them?
How are they housed?
PHOTOS will be very helpful - chicks, housing and poop.

You need to be very careful if you are going attempt to syringe fluids into a chick, they can aspirate. Better to drip water beside the beak and allow the chick to take it in.

The one with the crop issue - a photo of it would help. Is this chick pooping? What is it eating? Do you provide a source of grit?

Again, the more information you can provide the better.

I agree- age, what they are eating, and housing/bedding is vital to know. If they are young and on starter crumbles and have plenty of water, they shouldn't need grit. I also agree that you have to be super careful when giving water with an eyedropper not to give it too fast nor stick it down its throat-let the chick take a drop at a time on the side of its beak.
 
Alright thank you I'll separate the corn asap,well I'm gonna say she but I don't know if it's a rooster so it has green or poop usually watery sometimes with white liquid she's maybe 5 months old I don't really know I rescued it when it was maybe 3 month looking

They are eating chick starter they always have water and I usually put it close to the beak open it a bit and put small slow drops

O.k. Let's clarify a few things here.

The one with the "full" crop is the older one?
What about the young one that you posted about on the other thread?

Sorry for confusing you the full crop one is also a chick and. Young one I posted is a sick chick if I'm not mistaken I'll throw picture and show you
 
What time of day are you checking the crop? And do you remove food at night when they go to bed?
Best time to check crop is first thing in the morning as they pop out the pop door absolutely before they have a chance to eat. Chickens digest their food while sleeping. If you are checking during the day or evening ut will feel full. It should feel empty first thing in the morning.
Removing food each night prevents them from starting to eat before you get around to letting them out in the morning or before you can check them. It also helps keep unwanted critters sneaking a meal while chooks sleep.

I check them first thing they wake up because I have them inside my house because outside their is a lot of predators I always feed them at 4:30 in the afternoon when I get home from school and every day aat sunrise to all my animals big chicken and duck
 
It eats normally but the crop only goes down the slightest bit ,I don't have grit I don't even think they sell that where I live I have them broken corn with chick food and that's it

Tractor Supply has chick grit. Perhaps there is one you can get to. If you have to order it online that would be a way to go. They must have grit or they cant grind up their food. You do have to be careful that they do not overeat grit as well. You need to monitor their intake. Don't provide too much right away.
