Now yellow poop with swollen crop after eating string?

[Kiki]

Yes. 2 breeds but from the same person at the same time; not a hatchery.

Thanks.

I'd don't know what you should try but I'd stop the avc and extras if she is eating and drinking well.

Pick up all the things tonight and in the morning before you put food out again see if her crop is empty.

Does her breath smell bad?

I haven’t noticed but I’ll check in the morning. I was just going to post something. I’ve been reading up on crop massage, etc and a site says that Monostat 7 day will clear crop impaction? I thought just olive oil.

UPDATE: So, Raptor’s crop did feel smaller so some is obviously being processed but I can tell without a scale that she’s lost weight when I picked her up this morning. She ate a couple bites of the starter with olive oil. I got her to eat a couple more. Did the massage. No regurgitation. Do you think she ate enough of the olive oil? Or am I going to have to get more into her. I hate doing that. Besides that she was sitting on my lap for awhile after the crop massage but then she wanted down. She’s still doing the hunching thing but not making that sound anymore. Patience? And just continue the course? She’s hanging outside with the others but in the pen. She doesn’t seem really happy about it. Maybe that’s a good sign.

It wasn’t that bad this morning but there’s definitely a stronger odor than their normal smell. But it wasn’t horrible or anything.

Sheriff Hopper keeping an eye on her with me.

I'm not a medical chicken expert, but you might want to do a search here for sour crop treatment. I've had that happen twice... not a good outcome for me, but that may well not be what you're dealing with. They can get a fermentation going in their crop. There are people here who've made quite a study of treating it.

I’m searching. Thank you. It does sound like that and that’s where I read about the monostat.
