Update: please help! she also just threw up clear liquid and isn’t very active, making some gurgling noises. Any suggestions?

Hi! Can anyone offer advice on how to care for this chicken? I don’t know what is causing this.
her crop has been swollen and bright red. Feels like small granules inside it. And now she is losing feathers all down her keel bone and it’s bright red.

History: egg bound at least 2 times in the past 6 months. Soaked her in epsom salt and helped her pass it. Another time she passed it on her own. I’ve tried massaging her crop lots of times. She is given oyster shells and chicken grit.

How old is this girl?
What is her normal diet?
Did you check her over thoroughly for external parasites that might explain the feather loss?
I would isolate her and either tube her or syringe her lots of fresh water with lots of crop massages. Start by getting about 2 tsps of coconut oil into her to help lube the pipes.
Keep up with the massages and water to try to flush out the crop.
Does she have any swelling between her legs under her vent?
She also has a pretty bad case of scaly leg mites.
