That's a laxative? That clears the crop too?

I'm on my way home again, gonna have a look see before dinner and let you know whether the fluid has drained from the crop or not.

It's the stool softener docusate. Probably won't hurt to give it with fluids. What dewormer do you have?

Well I got the first few letters right, that is why I tell everybody to contact you.

I am hoping for the best for your hen.

You got all the letters right, that's a brand name. OP is not in US, so I thought I should say what the active ingredient was.

Ok, here we go! 3:30 hours ago her crop still felt like one of those stress-balls, just now it felt a bit harder again so I doses another bit of luke-warm fluid (70cc water, 5gr sugar, 5ml olive oil) and massaged it again. I'm off work tomorrow at 12:00 so I'll try and find that med you were talking about and how to apply it.

As for dewormer, I'm using Verm-X and a small dose of dried garlic in their food.

You might want to get something like Safeguard or Valbazen. What country are you in?

Whats the component responsible for dealing with worms? I'll find a suitable replacement. I'm from the Netherlands by the way and Beaphar is a manufacturer in these parts with several product on the market.
