I think one of my favorite hens has an impacted crop. I've been reading up on it. Has anyone ever tried what is suggested in this link?

I'm trying it, but how much water with baking soda do you put down them first?? They say to mix 1 pint warm water with 1/2 cup baking soda. I would think that is enough for several chickens.
Also, I can't seem to get anything to come up. But maybe I'm afraid she'll aspirate some of it. Maybe I'm not trying hard enough.
I know I can't do surgery. I just know I can't do it.
Is there any hope for my Little White Annie??
