Coconut oil for sour crop??

Bought some coconut oil a few months ago in case of sour crop and opened it today and it’s yellow oily no mold or anything like that it’s used to be white creamy not it’s liquidy would it still be good to give?

Ah okay so what’s the best bet for sour crop would it be garlic water with miconazole twice a day for 7 days with some Greek yogurt as food?

Yogurt only helps if has live cultures in it, it doesn't matter if it's normal or Greek, as long as it has those cultures. :]
I've personally never dealt with sour crop, but here's some good info.

And if a chicken were to have impacted crop how many teaspoons of coconut should they get? In a post it says 2 but it’s if it is still creamy.

It should be the same measurement but if you stick in the fridge, it will get solid again.

The best way to check would be remove the food and water at night, then feel her crop first thing to see if it's emptied.
If she's got access to food/water, then she's likely eating/drinking before you go check.

Yeah took off food forgot to take out water tho since it’s vitamin and electrolyte water since it’s gotten really hot and it helps a lot hopefully tomorrow morning her crop is empty.

I'd start treating her then.

Yeah it’s lumpy but my coconut oil and it’s back to its white look so ima give her 2 teaspoons hope all goes well

Easiest way to give coconut oil if she won't eat it from your hand is to have little chunks frozen or cold so it is white and hard and then pop them in their throat like you would give a pill. She will swallow it like a pill because it is solid and then it will melt to oil in her crop.

It's normal, when it warms up it melts. Probably says something like that in the back of the jar.
it won't do anything for sour crop, though. But it's great for impacted crop
