Thanks, I will once it arrives. I assume I should continue massage. Any isolation needed yet? Is an hour of free range after work still ok?

I don't like to isolate because the flock gets weird on separated birds. LOL So keep her in the flock. They've all been exposed at this point.
Stop with the oils, they are very hard to digest. Massaging the crop without adding something doesn't do much in killing off the yeast. So add things to it before a massage....1 teaspoon lemon juice along with 1/16 teaspoon of Cayanne pepper and a bit of ACV. Nothing lives in any of theses. Massage in well. You can use vaginal creams too, 1ml under the tongue 3 times a day. Yeast busting foods like greens, broccoli slaw, apples, go easy on layer feed for a while as its loaded with carbos that feed yeasts.
All this will help start the process until you get the Copper started. Even then, I would syringe these things along with Copper water and a good massage. The yeast should be down to a dull roar with the week. Afterwards I would continue with Probiotics and ACV for several weeks, yeasts take a very long time to completely destroy even though you see no signs of them.
@TwoCrows, does that video look like a pendulous crop? I didn’t do anything for her tonight. No massage. Nothing. But I just picked up lemon juice for the morning and the acidified copper sulfate has shipped. I don’t have narrow syringes forcsyringing the lemon juice, but I will try syringing drops to the beak. What are your thoughts on yogurt?
This morning Ruby’s crop wasn’t huge, but wasn’t empty. I put out (spread out across three different locations so nobody was bullied away from it) plain yogurt (enough for about 1.5 tablespoons per bird mixed with 1 teaspoon per bird of lemon juice) before I left. Ruby was definitely eating it, and when she’d get chased from one spot, she moved to another. I hope this helps while I wait for the acidified copper sulfate to arrive. I may run up the hill at lunch and massage her a bit.
The Rubester looked good at lunch! I tried to administer more lemon juice, but most of it went flying everywhere. She did get several drops, along with crop massage. I think the yogurt and lemon is going to help.
