hey there, to those of you that are following the life of "Squeak"
He has got a little bit of sour crop - smaller than the size of a pea and I was wondering what the best way is to release it and hopefully save his life - I know that it can be life threatening.
HELP ME PLEASE - ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GREAT

Your best bet is to get him to the veterinarian as soon as possible. Young chicks have very weak immune systems and a sour crop will kill him.
For now, give him some apple juice with a small amount of apple cider vinegar.
Mix 2 Table spoons of apple juice to 1 drop of apple cider vinegar. That should kill the bacteria inside the crop.
If the chick is only a few days old, only 1 – 2 drops will suffice. Don’t ever fill the crop and keep the chick warm to help with digestion.
Hope this helps and please keep us updated!
