sour crop?

Hello!

While checking my chickens' crops, I found that one had a very squishy crop compared to the others. I hadn't noticed before because she acts perfectly fine, but now I'm concerned after looking it up. I went back in the morning to check if it was empty and it did feel flatter. Does anyone think this is sour crop? Should I leave her be or separate her for treatment?

Thanks!

I separated her for 24 hours without food. Her crop emptied, so that’s a good thing. I gave her some yogurt and garlic water the next day. The day after that I let her have chicken feed and her crop was more firm than before. I suppose it may have been me just panicking, but better safe than sorry.

Thanks for the bump though!
