Multiple Impacted Crops? Help with treatment/cause

[Nutmeg15]

Massaging their crops won’t hurt them at all. Hold them let them calm down and then as if you’re just loving on them really take your time a manipulate the crop. While you’re doing this lean into them and smell the breath. Mine think crop check time is Love time lol.
Once you’ve done that (in the morning after food withdrawal) let us know how it went and what you found. Best wishes

Lol!! Thanks for your help, I'll keep updating on how she's doing.

All chickens Need grit that’s how digestion takes place...they don’t have teeth to chew. That’s what grit does in the gizzard grinds up their feed/foods. So once you get some give it right away. It’d be wonderful if that’s all it took. Checking her breath (smell) is important. That will tell us a lot.

This is waht I do with a bird that is 'off':
I'd isolate bird in a wire cage within the coop for a day or two....so you can closely monitor their intake of food and water, crop function(checking at night and in morning before providing more feed), and their poops. Feel their abdomen, from below vent to between legs, for squishy or hard swelling.

Best to put crate right in coop or run so bird is still 'with' the flock.
I like to use a fold-able wire dog crate (24"L x 18"W x 21"H) with smaller mesh(1x2) on bottom of crate under tray.
Then you can put tray underneath crate to better observe droppings without it being stepped in. If smaller mesh is carefully installed, tray can still be used inside crate.

Beware putting it in a feeder they can gorge on it.
I just sprinkle it on the ground, when they aren't watching,
usually along with spreading scratch in run before letting them out in the morning.

Thanks for the tips!! I have a dog crate so that'll work perfectly.
