Possible crop problem. difficulty swallowing and mucus in beak.

i'm really not sure, as i'm just estimating the amount she's getting. i check her constantly, check to see if the crop is emptying and give her more water any time i notice it has gone down. i give her 5-6 eye droppers each time. i'm sure she's not getting the amount she really needs, but is getting some and her poops are starting to look a little more normal. She has less mucus in her mouth this morning than she has had the past couple days. Any idea what the neck stretch is about?
 
She might have a throat/crop infection or capillary worms. An obstruction you can rule out by palpating the length of her neck.

She is still hanging in there. i started tube feeding her yesterday and it seems that her crop is slow to empty. It's not impacted or sour, so i think it may be thrush since i had her on antibiotics. Hoping if i can get her to gain a little weight she'll start feeling better and start eating on her own. i'm giving her a little ACV in her water incase she does have thrush. Can i give her human probiotics? i have yogurt too, but it seemed to increase the mucus so i stopped giving it to her. Thanks for all the help!

Do you have any human yeast medication? Fluconazole? Ketoconazole?

No i don't. Is thrush the same as sour crop? Her breath doesn't smell sour, but her crop is slow to empty.
