Her last egg was a couple years ago and her crop is emptying completely fine. I mixed the vitamins into a scrambled egg for her along with layers pellets that have wormer in them and she ate alot of it. I have given her treatment for sour crop aswell as a precaution but i dont think she has itIs her crop emptying?
When was her last egg?
If she's not laid an egg, I would give her Calcium Citrate+D3.
You can find Calcium Citrate with D3 in the vitamin aisle of stores like Walmart, CVS, etc. Give 1 tablet daily, just pull down on her wattles, pop the tablet into the beak and let her swallow.
If her crop is not emptying, then begin treating that symptom according to this article: https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...w-to-know-which-one-youre-dealing-with.73607/
