I have to ask
"Is any feed in the chick's crop"?
The "crop" is found on the right side of the front of a
bird and it stores food before food moves along to the
gizzard to be digested.
So I am trying to understand if the food is being blocked
before it gets to the crop or afterwards OR if the
blockage is even farther along the digestive tract.
--------If you can find a good avian vet near you I would
suggest having the chick examined.
--------I will try to help you but this is a serious
problem that needs advice from other sources
