My sweet 8 week old red speckled Sussex has sour crop. I’m already treating her for the sour crop with miconazole. I’ve been told to only feed her wet food. My question is what is wet food for chicks? Was going to giver her some scrambled eggs with probiotic yogurt mixed in tomorrow. Would that work?

Yup, I think that would be a good choice (esp. scrambled eggs). 'Wet food' could also be feed moistened to the point where it is super mushy, but I think you're better off with the eggs. It's probably something she'll be more willing to eat anyway.

Moisten the chick crumble feed. She'd like that. Also, have you been offering chick grit? It is a smaller grit size. This is important if she is eating food other than the feed.

I’ve been giving her chick feed yes. I’ve mixed a small amount of feed, grit, & the probiotic yogurt to give to her. Small amounts. 4 times a day. Giving her the meds twice a day. She’s cleaned her bowl every time so far! Her crop also seems to be going down. She’s such a snuggle bug right now.
