Sick 5 Year Old Sussex Hen

[musiceducator1]

We've had Penny for many years. A few months ago, her crop became soft and mushy. We noticed that she had a growth in her mouth that has an odor of yeast. Her feet are now cold, even though it's warm outside and our other chickens' feet are warm. We tried putting copper sulfate in her water, in case she had candidiasis. This didn't change her symptoms. She acts normal in every other way; being social, eating, and drinking. We are really worried and need some advice on how to help her. Thank you!!!

Several people have used monistat to treat sour crop,all claim it works. I believe what they did was cut the three tablets into 1/3 so you end up with 9,give 1 cut tablet orally twice a day.
