Impacted Crop, Barely Pooping

This morning her crop was somewhat full, however, the contents of it was very squishy which I guess means she has sour crop. I opened her beak and there's no smell, or anything unusual.
When I massaged last night her crop was still doughy.
I didn't want to massage this morning though because of the sour crop.
Since it was still full, I assume she still has an impaction. The massage and coconut oil seemed to be the only thing working though, so now I'm not sure how to proceed..
 
Epsom salts or molasses flush may help if there's a blockage. These are flushes, so make sure she's staying hydrated afterward.

A crop can be sour even if there's no odor, having an odor, the condition is advanced.
Using an antifungal cream twice a day for 7 days is usually quite effective in treating sour crop.
Sometimes you have to use a combination of methods to get results.

Thank you, I bought the generic miconazole 2% cream that I started giving her tonight. I used the little applicator tubes provided and gave her a half inch of cream from the applicator.
I gave her coconut oil right after and massaged her crop extremely gently. Her crop felt like a little fluid-filled balloon...
 
Thank you so much, I got her the calcium and dissolved it in water and fed it to her via a dropper. I gave her coconut oil and massage 3 times yesterday, and again this morning. Still not pooping very much at all, and her crop is doughy now, still not emptying. She's getting thinner and her bones are more prominent but she's still pretty perky in spite of the circumstances.
I tried giving her a dulcolax stool softener but the gel capsule is too big for her (even though it's small) and she keeps trying to break it up with her beak, which she can't., so I guess there goes that idea.
When I feel her abdomen, I can feel what feels like an egg on her left side. Her vent looks normal though. Hopefully the calcium gets it moving
Try Pepto bismol. It worked for my hen
 
I finished her 7-day, twice-a-day treatment with miconazole and her crop is still full of fluid and squishy. There's nothing in the crop that's solid- she managed to pass the contents of the impaction and she had 2 days during her treatment where her crop was completely empty in the morning, which was promising, but now she's waking up with a fluid-filled balloon like crop in the mornings. It doesn't feel like anything solid in there- it's just squishy.

Should I give her another round of miconazole? Maybe a stronger percentage for another 7 days? Will it hurt her since I already gave her a 7 day treatment?
