My 2 month old silkie has vomited a clear liquid from its mouth. From a quick google search, I am now aware this can be sour crop. The silkie acts normal but has vomited 3 or 2 times since the past 3 weeks and sometimes bobs it back and forth with its mouth open, based on the reaction, trying to swallow back up the liquid. My question is, whatever the chick has how do I treat it?

Two months old is pretty young to be having crop issues. What do they get for feed?

I personally would keep it on just starter crumbles and some probiotics (there are powdered ones for their water) and see if that doesn't help. If it's being given other foods, are they getting grit?

If that's not working, here are a couple of great articles about crop issues:
