Impacted crop?

[Corrisionworrision]

I posted on here earlier about a 2 week old chick who hasn't grown since I got her and is not doing so well and I think it might be an impacted crop, her crop is tiny and very hard, she's eating a little and drinking and pooping normally but is very sickly looking, sometimes crying, always sleeping, sometimes stumbling around but mostly just standing there like she's in pain not even playing with her siblings. I took their food away for the night and hopefully it will go down. should I give her some vegetable oil? I've never delt with any crop issues let alone with a baby so tiny! I just hope it's not too late

No, I wouldn't give her Vegetable oil.

I'd check the crop first thing in the morning before she's had anything to eat or drink.

If the crop has not emptied, then I'd give her small chunks of Coconut Oil that she can consume on her own.

I saw a photo on your other thread, but can you post photos of the whole brooder and tell me what the temperature if on the warm and cold sides of the brooder?

What are you feeding?
