Impacted crop to ... doughy or squishy crop?

This is a very good sign that this consumption of solid food may lead to the emptying of her crop.

Next, offer her access to her regular feed. Keep it dry. This will absorb the excess fluids in her crop and could result in carrying the fluid out of the crop finally. I would do this sometime before tonight.

Update
We gave her ground up feed, about one tablespoon, dry. She was so excited and ate it with gusto. It kept her busy for a long time, scratching away at the plate. A while later, when she still looked hungry we gave her another teaspoon of scrambled egg.
She seemd a lot calmer in the afternoon and had a nap on the armchair.
Now she is in bed.

By the way, sometimes if there is a substantial worm load that has been killed by a worming med, the chicken may experience shock as it's pushed through the intestines. Be ready with sugar water and electrolytes if she begins to show signs of lethargy.

We watched, there was no shock. The poops had been very watery, and have started to have more solids again. No suspicious poops.

Good work!! It's very, very encouraging she has a good appetite. Now let's keep our fingers crossed the crop is empty or nearly so by morning.

Another good sign is that she has not “barfed” today, and that she did not overdo it on the water.
Thanks for your support.

Report this morning. Day 6 of being inside.
Crop was not empty.
Priscilla ate 2 tablespoons of yogurt with a teaspoon of chicken feed. When offered a bit of scrambled egg, she didn’t eat that. She didn’t seem as crazed for food. Still active and drinking. Poop was watery, also had cecal poop.
We are going to give her grated carrot in a while.
It is hard to stay positive right now.

My girlfriend thinks she should be reintroduced back to the flock, as our temperatures are milder right now. My girlfriend does most of the babysitting. We are getting tired.
I totally don’t know what to do.
Is it going to be harder and harder to reintroduce her back, the longer she stays in? As my girlfriend will have to go back to work, will it be better for her to stay in the little cage for a big part of the day or be outside?
Will it make her worse to go out? She is not picking up everything trying to eat it, her in the house. She is not having an eating frenzy now.

Chickens are almost always better off in their flock, but you will need to reintroduce her slowly. The pecking order has been modified in her absence and it will force it to modify again upon her return.

When a crop stubbornly refuses to empty, sometimes a crop bra can help. Without my needing to comb through the thread to see if we've tried that, can you tell me if we've discussed this?

A crop that doesn't empty can affect appetite. It can cause slow starvation if it continues. I suggest a crop bra being given a chance. You can easily make one. I show a basic pattern in this article I wrote. https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...w-to-know-which-one-youre-dealing-with.73607/

I am making the bra. I will put it on her. Once it warms up more, I will put her outside and see what happens.
She was the bottom of the pecking order already. So, hopefully the pecking won’t be too bad.

Thanks for working with us.
I will let you know how it goes.

A little warning. Keep her separated if she's wearing the bra, until the other chicken get used to her get-up. It can compound her returning to the flock. Chickens see the garb and assume she's a monster and may attack her for that. They quickly get used to it, though.
