I’ll get pics soon. She doesn’t seem to be having any breathing issues, she’s been sleeping so her breathing seems to just be deep sleepy breathing.Please post some photos of all of her and her poop.
Don't massage the crop if it's full of fluid, she can aspirate. Is she having any trouble breathing after the fluid came up?
I’m almost 100% sure she has sour crop, her crop is mushy and gurgling, and her beak and head smell strongly like yeast. It has already been stated that she is ten months old. She’s on All-Flock pellets. I don’t want to feed her anything because of her crop issue.What is her age? And what is her diet? She is going to suffer from vitamin and essential nutrient deficiency the more time that goes on and she doesnt eat.
She only 'vomited' liquid because she was drinking excessive water. My hens do the same when they can feel something is blocking and they try to flush themselves. Excessive water consumption is a symptom of worms also for my flock, i automatically treat worms on the spot when a hen is puffy, lethargic, tired, and drinking excessive water.
After ruling out worms, she is probably suffering from another gastrointestinal blockage. Could be viral gastritis, bacterial gastritis, egg bound, grass blockage, inflammation of liver, cancer, sour crop, etc. But since worms is very possible, either a test for worms or dewormer medicine is really necessary.
Her molting feathers is also very draining of her vitamins and nutrients. She may need supplements like iron, folic and B-complex vitamins. For example i feed liver or fish sometimes for chickens that are starving of nutrients.

Is her crop empty in the morning? If so, that is easier to treat than a gastrointestinal blockage.I’m almost 100% sure she has sour crop, her crop is mushy and gurgling, and her beak and head smell strongly like yeast.

It has felt mushy and full since this morning, so it hasn’t emptied yet, unfortunately.Does her crop empty in the morning? If so, that is easier to treat than a gastrointestinal blockage.
