Prolonged prolapse in non-laying hen

[6BeachChicks]

well, perhaps not surprisingly, after about a week this hen has prolapsed again. and now it's clear her body condition is extremely down. I cant get her to eat - even the soldier fly larvae and mealworms go ignored. but she'll walk all around the yard acting like she's foraging ALL DAY. first thing this morning when I took her off the roost pole to bring her in for treatment, I noticed her crop was completely packed - it feels hard like there's gravel in there. anyone have thoughts? impaction/blockage? I think we're nearing the end of the road here.

Try giving her coconut oil for impacted crop. Solid little balls of the coconut oil popped into her beak.

I should also note she's been on aqua-mox 250 mg 1x day for 4 days

If you can get her drinking a lot of water, or learn how to tube feed water, it can help the crop contents to be massaged and move contents along. You can give the coconut oil daily 1 tsp to help her. I hope that she makes it, but many times an impacted crop can be from something else such as internal laying, putting pressure on her organs, slowing digestion.

she's taken plenty of coconut oil and water and the crop impaction doesn't seem to be a problem anymore, but she continues to prolapse every day.
