My Beilefelder woke up with a small (maybe size of ping pong ball) hard crop. She drank some water immediately upon waking and I felt it again and it's now loose. I massaged it and it's definitely loose now.

Question...should I isolate her and withhold food for a while until it empties? Or is ok to just let her out with everyone else (and food) and just check again tomorrow morning?

A little background...she has had a couple of instances of very large squishy crop not emptying but it's not chronic.
 
What I've been advised in the past, and it worked, to help with crop issues, you could try some bites of coconut oil, I think others have tried Olive Oil, both are administered directly into the mouth.
Freeze the coconut oil to make it harder and easier to break into small pieces and easier to handle. I'll step out now and let the experts add more.
