What did you do with your flock today?

@Shetland lover or anyone else?
Topaz, 3 y.o. Sapphire Blue. She was lethargic yesterday, staying alone and went to roost early. This morning she was hunched down by the feeder. Her breathing seems slightly labored, and her beak is open to breathe. I gave her coconut oil which she readily ate,, and crop massage. There is a hard object in there about the size of the end of my thumb. She does not seem able to balance or want to walk. Any ideas?
I am away for the next few days, so cannot treat her.
Don't believe she has laid in a couple days, and I think she only does about 1 or 2 x a week. She just drank some water. What! I just saw her catch a fly that was going to land on her food. Ate some chopped up boiled eggs. She is drinking water.

Do you have any antibiotics? If it were me, with the info I see, id start her on antibiotics while I looked for more clues.

She died a couple hours ago.

I was curious as to what was in her crop, so I did cut it open. Nothing except the cold coconut oil clumps, some residual food, grass, snacks, some liquid and a small, green plum which she had swallowed whole. Nothing blockage wise. Maybe her system just quit. I don't have the heart or stomach to do a necropsy.
