Impacted/sour crop i think?

Did you read the link provided in post#4 ?

Yes and i believe it is slow crop as there isnt a bad smell coming out of her beak, her crop is squishy and otherwise she is alert and talking...i have vomited her a couple of times but sometimes nothing comes out...

I would not vomit her anymore.
Start with the coconut oil and massage. She needs water of course, but no feed for several hours. See if you can work on breaking up what's in there.


What are you feeding including treats? Do they have access to a source of grit?
If you can post some photos of her and her poop that would be good too.

I wont give her anymore food for abit...how long can she go without food as shes so young? Ive been using Olive Oil...is Coconut different?
Shes only 8 weeks so just put her on growers, i didnt give them any grit as i was worried due to her age but my Dad has said to get some grit and provide it in a small area so they can all access it if they need it etc...i shall go and take some photos now for you

Olive oil is fine if that's what you have.

imho, grit should always be provided free choice for chickens. Even if they have access to suitable soil, grit is relatively cheap and there's no guessing whether they have what they need.
I would work on getting the crop to empty before offer her grit at this time - you don't want to really add anything else to the crop except the oil and water. Once you have this resolved she can have access to it just like the others.

I have grit for my adults and will ensure the other two pekins have access to some asap. Pictures just taking a while to load...

She's very cute!
I would work on massaging that crop, let her have water, but withhold food for a while - see if you can get that moving.
The photos of the poop - it's looks very thin - does she seem to have a hard time pooping?
