For the last week I've been treating her with a soup crop and a impacted crop. I did everything I was told to do here but I added a Enzyme Digestive pill once daily, for 3 days and this morning everything was cleaned out. Her pin was full of poop. She didn't finish her dinner last night, she is not eating today and now she is making weird sounds. Listen to the video I posted. She went outside to her two sisters to say good morning and they pecked at her. I brought her back in and she is sitting with me. What has happened now?

For over a week she has had a crop issue. She has had sour crop and an impacted crop. She was given nothing but scrambled eggs and yogurt for 4 days, with a dab of miconazole twice daily. She was eating and walking around talking as usual. but the impaction was not clearing at all clearing so someone suggested a Digestive enzyme and said it would clear the impaction in 3 days. It did! her pin this morning was full of regular poop, normal in color and size, tons of it.
But she had not finished her dinner and she is making a noise. When she breathes. See video attached. Is this from the sour crop and meds?

Is her crop empty by early morning? Do not massage her crop if it feels full and puffy. She sounds a bit wheezy or with a little stridor, but she also seems to be making some normal chicken sounds.

Her crop was empty this morning. I did not massage, just felt of it, it was puffy tho. She has not had any interest in water or food today. Her breathing is ok but she is still doing those noises and they are louder. She also is making a noise that sounds as tho she is crying.
 
If the crop was puffy, it is not empty and flat. It sounds like it is not emptying, and she may be suffering from slow or sour crop. I would just offer water with electrolytes today, and give 1/2 inch of the miconazole twice a day. Probiotics or plain Greek yogurt with live cultures are good to include. Avoid any pressure on her crop when handling while it is puffy, so it doesn’t cause her to vomit. It is there a sour or bad odor from her beak?

There was 5 days ago, I have been giving her a pea sized drop of miconazole 2X daily, along with probiotic water. She has had nothing to eat solid for those 5 days other than scrambled eggs cooked in coconut oil, soft, and a teaspoon of plain sugar free yogurt. No sour smell now for 2 days. She refuses to eat anything now, she was eating fine those things I gave her but now she won't even drink water. She fights if I try to give her water in a dropper and won't even eat. And she has stopped laying.
She had a severely impacted crop with sour crop 5 days ago but last night everything came out, her pin was full of poop.
