Need help with crop/ from sweden

today is day 6 and she has not emptied her crop tonight .. it felt harder and a little bigger.
I do not understand why it does not, it has gone from being like a cake batter to being firmer and softer, not soft like a balloon with water but not hard either.
yesterday I massaged her long in the evening and could feel like a "flip" high up in the crop, it feels like it is stuck and would be made of cartilage?!?
and then I felt something else moving in her crop, not reaching hard but still something that did not feel like it would be there.
what should I do? how long can she keep food in the crop until it is formed into poison and she becomes poisoned ??
 
how do i know if she has sour crop or impacted crop?
she still gets water sometimes from her beak when she has drunk and then has to eat immediately after, and sometimes she picks up her head and swallows as if it is liquid on its way up which she has to swallow again.
BUT I have been like the hawk and smelled the water coming up and in her mouth but she smells nothing, which I understand it can do.

is there no medicine that can help her?
can she have fermented crop?
 
What do her poops look like?
Had a bird with impacted/sour crop.
I kept her isolated in a crate(see below) to monitor her feed and water and observe poops.
Gave her coconut oil, 'melted' into crumble feed, with some massage until the hard lump softened and reduced in size...took a couple-few days.
Then 7 days of fluconazole, also mixed in to crumble feed.
Her poops solidified about 4 days into the fluconazole.
She still has a bit of a lump in her crop, but is healthy and laying again.

Okay, I'm going to google that medicine and see if it's available in Sweden.
her poop is loose and right now it's corn and peeled cucumber pieces that come out mixed with a little green / brown.
I'll post a picture of it the next time she poops.
but I just discovered this when I checked through her poop, what the hell is this disgusting insect ?? nothing she's eaten in the last week, it was dead but has never seen such an insect before

Here one brand name is Monistat...it's a human med for vaginal yeast infections.

What is her normal feed?
I would not feed anything but a good chicken ration.

Bug probably came after the poop, rather than with it from inside the chicken.
Need to see other side of bug for a chance at an ID.
I wouldn't worry about it tho.
