Need help with chick.

It would be really good to see some photos of her and her poop.

For me, I would not put a bra on a chick so young. I'd work on addressing the symptoms if indeed the crop is not emptying overnight.

If she's got access to food/water during the night or you're checking it after she's been eating/drinking, then it's not going to give you an accurate account of crop function.

Pooping fine, active, eating/drinking like normal - these are puzzling to me. Normally when I have a bird that is having crop issues, they are not doing these things.
I will get pics of her today when I get home. Its hard to get pics of her poop bc she's in a brooder box with 9 others. I do take food & water away at night, I have for almost a week & there has been no change in her crop. Thats the puzzling part to me too, bc she's definitely still active & eats/drinks normally, she gets up on the roost bar with all the others, she comes to me & let's me pick her up/hold her. She pooped on my husband last night so I know she's pooping. I just don't know what's going on. & there are no vets near me that will look at birds
