And what’s the dose for the cream for a 7 lb hen with sour crop?

I would use it.
Give 2X a day according to the article linked below.

Awesome, i’m glad I know I can use that since I have four tubes I bought ahead of time for my first aid kit… two days ago, one of my hens had a half full squishy crop in the morning, and didn’t seem to want to eat any breakfast, so I started monitoring her, gave some probiotics, extra grit bowls, and a little ACV in water. Her breath doesn’t smell at all and this morning her crop was empty and she’s eating again. I’ll just keep an eye 👁️ on it for now. Thanks!
 
Thank you. The person in the article uses vaginal cream so I wasn't sure if I could use a topical one. Also, I'm not sure how much to use as the topical cream seems stronger than the vaginal one, which has 50mg of clotrimazole in one application.
Anyways, I just mixed a bit(?) of the topical one with scrambled eggs because I couldn't put it directly into my chicken's beak. She was very feisty moving her head away with her all might. We'll see.

I've used Clotrimazole, same dosing as suggested in the article.
I give it as direct oral dose 2x a day for 7 days that way I know the bird has received the medication.
