Play sand and impacted crop can it clear on its own?

[Boergoatlover]

I’ve realised I’ve made a really big mistake by using play sand in the Dustbath, I thought it would be safer for the hens but I caught one of my silkies eating the sand.

She’s now got an impacted crop I’ve been using olive oil and massage it’s gone down a tiny bit but not massively. She’s touch wood at the moment seems ok in herself

The vets are closed and I don’t know whether I need to take her to the emergency vet (they don’t specialise in chickens) or if she can wait till Monday.

Any advice is very much appreciated.

Many thanks

How long has it been impacted? You just checked it or has it been several mornings that you've checked before she has had anything to eat/drink and it's not emptied?
