What is wrong?

Sour Crop is an abnormality that occurs when a chicken's crop fails to empty completely or it empties much too slowly causing food to remain stuck in their crop. Unfortunately, food that gets stuck in the crop begins to ferment or break down.

Came home from work at 0800. My Polish Silver lace head and mouth smells sour. Yeastie. I looked in her mouth and could see lil white dots on the roof of her mouth. No wet nose.

If you can see the white yeast dots that means there is a good chance it is a yeast infection. Can you post pictures of said dots?

Since Im the only one home, its hard to keep her little beak open and take pictures. But, the smell of her head and mouth smells like yeast. As a Maternal Child RN, unfortunately I have a nose for that odor.
I had to read how to do a crop check this morning and I could feel a firm something on the right side of her breast bone. I put pieces of coconut oil in her mouth and thought I killed her, as she went limp. So, I stopped.
I messaged that area and she peeped so, I assumed it was tender. But, then she seemed to lean into my finger. Nothing came out but, perhaps she was freightened he stool looked like this picture.

I scrambled an egg with some yogurt. She was pecking at it. I cleaned the plastic bin with ACV and added new pine shavings. (Not shreaded). I added a drop of ACV to the water. She (maybe not a she) and her mate yell for eachother and cant relax unless both are together. So separating them is difficult. Idk what else to do except try to keep or get the crop moving. With being 2 weeks old, I dont know the ratio of monistat cream or Lotrium cream to give her and how to make her take it without aspirating. Thats my biggest problem. If I could watch a video on how to do it, then I could. Thanks so much for helping me.

Her stool looks like coccidiosis or a bacterial infection. A yeast infection in a chick is not common.

This was a great lesson and I read it this morning but, it was quite overwhelming. But, I did learn how to check the crop. Now, I need to know how to get her to take the stuff without her aspirating it as I force her to take it down her 2 week old lil throat.
