Sour Crop or Coccidisis?

She’s definitely not walking like a penguin, she’s really just kind of standing or laying in her sick pen. Her crop feels like one of those stress, relief, beanbags that you squeeze in your hand, I can feel grit inside of there.

Ok, it's it equal to the amount of food she's gotten?

She hasn’t eaten anything since yesterday, but I do still feel something like sand in her crop.

She could have an impacted crop, like you think. Here's an article on it by an experienced chicken owner.

I’ll definitely read that. I’m torn because her crop doesn’t feel hard at all, it’s actually very pliable and I can squish it and just feel tiny grits of sand or oyster shell in there. It’s not hard or swollen or anything like that.
