Help! Impacted crop?

[starlabantam]

This morning I woke up to my 1 month old chick lethargic and with a giant crop. It was semi hard and lumpy so all day I’ve been slowly feeding her coconut oil, massaging it, letting her rest for thirty minutes, repeat. I’d let her sip water with a bit of rooster booster inside. It definitely softened right up and became ever so slightly smaller (maybe because it’s softer) but she has not pooped the entire day. The crop is still full and I don’t think it has drained at all. I don’t have much access to any medicines especially since it is late and where I live, almost all stores are closed. Please help me, I don’t want to wake up to a dead chick tonight

You're doing well with her!

Some probiotics might help too, but here's two excellent articles about crops.

Thank you so much but sadly she didn’t make it. I believe there was an underlying health issue. She became too weak and she passed Away in the night.

Oh so sorry!! You were doing well for her, and she knew it!
