Impacted crop

[Littlelisa77]

I have a year old easter egger with a impacted crop. It is abut the size of a tennis ball I have isolated her with only water for 24hrs and massaging crop 3 times a day with little difference. Today I gave her pureed pumpkin mixed with plain yogurt and scrambled egg. She wouldn't eat it until I sprinked a touch of feed on top. She is acting normal but this impaction has me very concerned . What else can I do for her ? A vet visit is not an option unfortunately but she is one of my sweetest girls and would hate to loose her

When are you checking her crop? First thing in the morning before she's had anything to eat/drink right?

Is she pooping? What's that like?

I would give coconut oil, massage. Let her have water and a some wet feed. Read the article below including comments.

Yes checking first thing in the morning ... she is pooping small amounts and it is solid . No diarrhea. So some food must be getting through. I still have her isolating away from food and give her the combo I mentioned above throughout the day. I will add coconut oil today as the vegetable oil yesterday did loosen it a bit
