Impacted crop or crop injuries? Not eating for 3 weeks.

You can put an egg yolk in her water for a bit of protein
update: she accepted egg yolk for 2 days, then started to refuse it. But I have noticed she started to drink by herself. Started to eat some soft foods by herself. She is a leghorn so she does not like to be fed. She could be eating somewhat over 3 weeks from the bedding when no one was watching. She is still acting weird, but much better now and gobbles worms and flies in no time. Enjoys lettuce and steamed rice, still not liking chicken feed.

Don't kill your injured chicken unless you have to!
 
I'm coming in late on this one but I've got a couple nickles worth of opinion to toss on the table. Maybe it can assist someone down the line.
I've had some experience with impacted crop, perforated crop and wry neck.
All 3 benefitted from a good dose of cannabis oil. The perforated crop took a few weeks to completely heal so the oil kept the wound from getting infected and helped lube the plug that formed to closed the hole while healing. This enabled the lad to eat and drink without leakage.
The impacted crop was softened and kept feed from fermenting prematurely.
The wry neck took a big dose with vit E and lay out relaxed, woke up the next day dancing with zero symptoms. All three had stimulated appetites, thirst, and reduced stress. They took their meds willingly. I use it for many issues with profound results.
Fresh whole plant extract...heat extracted...no solvents...in a medium chain triglyceride organic coconut oil.
 
Further update: she was moved back to coop about a month ago, started to lay about 2 weeks ago and has laid 7 eggs so far. All weird behavior is gone.
