Impacted/sour crop in 1.5 week old chick?

[resinchicken]

i was wondering if there was an update on this little one. I have a chick with an odd crop as well, not FTT (she's a chunker) but I was curious how yours was doing.

Hi there, thanks for asking!
She is doing pretty well, I think! I followed the amazing advise above and gave her Nutri Drench and some scrambled eggs once a day, as well as the coconut oil massages, and they definitely made a difference. Her crop seems more normal now, less bulgy, and I have witnessed it empty at least once (I haven't been checking all the time because she really seems to be doing well).

It's only been about a week since my last post, but she is definitely growing, although she is absolutely smaller than her companions of the same age. I attached some pics of her today, and some pics of her next to her sibling. They about 4 weeks old now. She is smaller than everyone else, but she is also developing tail and wing feathers so that's promising. I'll be sure to post pics of her when she is grown just for anyone in the future who may be curious or be in a similar situation with slow growth...I'm certain she will always be smaller than the others but she seems very happy.
She is eating, pooping, playing, and acting very normal so I do think she has a good chance.

Good job! This chick is going to be a normal member of the flock.

Yay that's awesome! Thanks for the update.
I have a cat who I saved from a dead litter at a church. She was labeled as failing to thrive and never got very big. She's about the size of a 4 month old kitten now and that's as big as she ever got.

I wonder if your little one will stay petite. Can't wait for future updates. Happy tail feathers
