Impacted Crop Surgery?!?

[Forgotten Orchard]

Hello,

I have a 9 month old dark Brahma who seems to have an impacted crop.

Situation:
1.eat grass clipping early Sat morning
2. Full crop till late afternoon
3. removed all food for pen
4. Still pooping fine massive crop softball size

Sunday morning
1. Still full crop no sour smell just a wet grass smell from mouth eats bread covered with olive oil
2. massaged crop every hour
3. crop is smaller and fills like a bean bag
4.poop is runny and light green some time just white
5. gave water and baking soda
6. massaged
7. turned upside down
8. vomit...orange/yellow liquid
9. rest
10. Give vitamin water
11. crop a little larger than a golf ball, can feel rock like object in crop

I don't know what to do next. Do I do surgery in the morning (scary) or just keep working with her? She in not lethargic and is drinking fine. If I need to do surgery is there anyone close to magna utah that would not mind supervising?

Any advice is welcome....

I know if it were me I would hold off on the surgery. I would keep massaging and trying different things. Have you done a search on here on Impacted crop or sour crop? I would keep giving the vitamin water, sugar water, I would offer yogurt, olive oil and apple cider vinegar at different times. And I would keep massaging the crop. I have had chickens recover this way, but they usually kept having problems.
Someone posted a detailed operation here under: Emergencies / Diseases / Injuries and Cures » Helpful References & Links . I hope I never have to do this, but I am glad it was posted here, just in case

Good luck
