A happy update on Mrs. Weasley:
This morning she still had a full crop. I called a local vet who will see chickens and asked if they would do surgery to clean out her crop. They said yes, and were able to get us in today. She had surgery around 330pm and the vet said she had an ENORMOUS ball of wound up grass and pebbles surrounded by fluid in her crop. She said no amount of massage/medications would've helped. Mrs. Weasley is home with us, and she is spending the night inside to recover. She has already had some scrambled egg and ate it eagerly. She received pain medication and antibiotics during the surgery, and we will continue oral medications for several days.
Thank you to all who contributed and offered advice. I will post again when she is back to normal, hopefully in a week or two. So glad to have my big girl back, and so good to see her hungry again!
