What's wrong with my girl?

[LindsayAnn]

Lady Cluck has a large mass on her front end. I thought it was sour crop (not hard, squishy mass). I gave her water and olive oil through a syringe and made her vomit for 3 days in a row. I also removed food for 48 hours. What came up had no distinct smell, no long grass, no blockages, and I don't think she had anything else to come out. This did not decrease the size of the mass whatsoever. She seems to be eating and drinking fine but struggles to walk quickly and sometimes falls over. Any idea what is wrong with her??

How long ago did you notice the mass? Any chance you can get a video of her walking? Do her poos seem normal? Probably need a picture of it. I know nothing about chickens so I'll tag some other members that will hopefully stop in with some ideas for you.

Hi @LindsayAnn Welcome To BYC

Can you take her to a vet?

You say "not hard, squishy mass" - does this mean the crop is doughy or squishy?

Have you checked her crop first thing in the morning before she has had anything to eat and drink - is it still full?
How old is she?
Is she pooping? What does it look like?

Is this on her crop side?
Or is it down below, more stomach area?

It's a slightbit more on the crop side but it seems to extend down below her crop, almost behind her legs as well.

It seems to be a slight bit larger on the crop side but it's on both sides. It seems to go down pretty far by her legs as well. I noticed it when she was about 4 weeks old. She's 9 weeks old now. Her poo appears normal, just like my other girls. The mass feels doughy I think, definitely not hard. At night I can feel her crop is full, in the morning it feels like there may be some food remaining but nothing like it feels at night. Thank you all so much for replying! I'm at a loss with her. I've always had chickens but this is my first batch I've started as chicks. I talked to 2 local vets, but they do not see chickens.
