Yes, that's the stuff. You can even use plain unflavored yogurt (make sure the label says it has live cultures) if you run out of the powder. If you do give yogurt, don't give more than a teaspoon.

I would talk to some people who know, don't go by me, but I have read the crop can be massaged to break down impaction. Are you certain there is no yeast in the crop?{you would smell it}

Is it just today that you feel the lumpy thing, or everyday? He should not have any problem digesting a piece of egg, but if he has eaten something he shouldn't, like plastic or wood, he won't be able to digest it. My female GW is very bad about eating plastic, so they never get any toys made of plastic.

after i gave mashed potato and egg. And crop was empty. i noticed that mashed egg might be a bit large. Then i touch the crop and know something like that egg.

Today i play with me all the time. i am sure that he wouldn't eat anything like plastic or wood...

Not very many birds are as bad as my Jasper about eating plastic, but it is just one more thing to be aware of.

Be sure you give Happy his probiotics this morning to help his digestion. Don't worry unless the lump doesn't go away in 12-15 hours.
