It's possble that the crop is doughy.
I'd check it first thing like you did the other one.

When is the last time you wormed your flock?

Crop problems may be a combination of the "categories" detailed in the article below. For instance, a slow/doughy and/or impacted crop can turn sour. I always use coconut oil when treating a crop, but you may need to step up your treatment to include for doughy/impacted, etc.
Do keep in mind that crop issues are often a symptom of an underlying condition.

Funny things is I just wormed them 3 days before this happened gave them safeguard for 6 days

I'd start treating for Sour Crop.
This is how her poop looks like. The one who had her crop hard is starting to get better more energy from her and crop is getting smaller

Feed them their normal feed.
Cut out scratch/grains, anything that's a bit harder to process. If you feel they need a treat, opt for scrambled egg or something juicy like tomato or melon.
So I can give them their layer feed also their poop looks better.
