My chicken threw up foam

Have you determined yet if she has sour crop or impacted crop? It appears Waffles is feeling very sick. The feather in her foamy poop could indicate an obstruction. Pendulous crop is what is left over after you've treated for impacted crop and/or sour crop. Then you use the crop bra to help the crop empty all the rest of the way.

I suggest you verify what sort of crop issue you're looking at. At bedtime, remove all water and food, then check her crop in the morning. You will probably find it still full. You'll need to decide if it feels soft and squishy or hard and lumpy. Then you will most like need to start yeast treatment with miconazole.

If you find a hard lump, you will need to give her some oil to soften the mass. Treating the two crop disorders at the same time is tricky since impacted crop requires massage and sour crop is dangerous to massage. So I suggest treating the sour crop first, then the second day, start treating the impaction after the crop isn't full of sour liquid.

Thank you! When a chicken curls up in a ball is that bad? She seems more energetic. I took away food for now

Turn off the lights and let her sleep.
