Sour/Impacted Crop *Newbie Here*

[NeuroticVirgo]

Well, she hasn't died on us, but her crop won't go down. I feel like I tried every home remedy out there. We are putting her back in the yard and just letting her be.

Are you letting her go out and free-range? If so, I would confine her to a run, don't let her gorge herself on goodies from the yard area. Just a thought.

She has been inside since I posted this . (22 days) And it just never empties it is either a water balloon or a balloon full of sand. (Like a stressball) Nothing feels hard or impacted, I only feel the chick crumbles and grit. Her poop looks fine so food is obviously passing. So I don't know. We even tried the monistat with no change. The only time she actually looked sick was when we were with holding food to try and get it empty. But she still pukes on her own sometimes (the orginal symptom that brought this to our attention).

When we let her out it will be in a run attached to the coop but there is some grass. (I tilled up a lot of it but it keeps coming back so we just keep it trimmed)
