Yes, I think this works. Yours sounds more like sour crop or a slow crop today.

Sorry I miss spoke, the link worked, but it just said "Sorry, the page you were looking for in this blog does not exist" but I poked around there anyway.
I will check out the flushes link. I will see what I think after I check it out but right now I am thinking I will go with the molasses one... they say to alow them access to the molasses water for 8 hours. I don't think she will drink it on her own. Should I maybe give her a few mls a few times a day for 8 hours?
You might want to consider tube feeding if she does not start to eat/drink. Here is a link for tube feeding.

The only time I have had a crop problem was recently in a previously very healthy hen, who suddenly had lost a lot of weight, and she had a squishy slow emptying crop for about a month before she died of what I thought to have been egg yolk peritonitis. It never smelled sour, but each day it blew up with air after she ate her egg. It would go down somewhat by morning. Slow crops can accompany other diseases, kind of a symptom. In coccidiosis, Mareks disease, Eyp, and other it can happen simultaneously. I'm not saying much here I guess, other than to look beyond the crop, because it can be something more.
