Sour crop or something worse please take a look

[Sweet Road Island Reds]

My hen of one year had a squishy crop she’s moving slow fluffed up and not eating she did eat a fully cook whole egg and I have her apple cipher vinegar just in case it is sour crop she’s acting more herself not I got her in the coop on a roost with some heat from another chicken she is pooping water I’ve taken water away I gave her the egg an hour ago just so she could have some calories but now is she cleaning herself standing she’s more alert and talkative she’ll go 12 hours or over night without food or water what am I doing wrong what is happening please let me know my chickens are my family and I wanna be on this if she needs to go to the vet because that’s almost 45 minutes away and it’s dark

Hi hope your chicken is doing better,

Could you tell me if there is liquid coming out of her beak - overflow of the crop?
Is she still lethargic today? If you open her beak does the insides smell putrid, acid-like?

If this continues, and you are certain it is sour crop/exhausted all your possibilities I would administer 10 mg of Clotrimazole (orally in pill form), which is an antifungal medication (you can find this online/in the pharmacies/some shops) in one mL of water (dissolve). This is best done on an empty crop, as otherwise this medication will simply float in your crop. For this you will need to make her vomit (although this is controversial, I would let your vet perform this, but it's better to do so for the medication to fully work). In the meantime don't feed your chicken (because this will merely fill up the crop - thus medication should be given ASAP) and make her drink garlic water (which isn't as effective, but better than nothing - as it exhibits antifungal-like properties).

Best of luck!

I’ll try she seems to be getting better I don’t feel comfortable making her vomit nor the vet as she could die quickly she’s been drinking apple cider vinegar water and I let her outside for some sun she stood there for awhile drank and had a little banana I’ve been doing a massage on her crop to help get things moving for the 3 rd time today I have no idea where a chicken vet is our towns around us are so small they only do cats and dogs rabbits and such but I’ll try and get ahold of a vet I took my rabbit too. She did have water coming out of her crop yesterday I haven’t seen it today she’s been inside she’s alert just tired as she pokes her head up and looks around at us when we enter the garage and there is no foul smell coming from her mouth

Make sure she has grit because if it is a crop issue it could help move things along faster.

My hen passed away I took her to the vet she has a bad case of thrush that’s started out as a blockage the medicine didn’t work in time and I had to tube feed her the last day I knew I didn’t put it in her lungs but I suspect she had water bag she was very distended and I assume the stress of holding her firmly and tube feeding her was to much for her I’m glad to she she’s not in pain anymore because she was suffering
