This is a serious problem :( If there is an avian vet nearby then you should take your bird there for help.

Is your bird acting normally still or not? Is the crop full of hard food or just emptying slowly? What are you feeding your bird?

You need to make an appointment with an AVIAN veterinarian right away tomorrow. Babies with poor crop flow usually have bacterial and yeast infections which are nothing to mess around with.

What formula are you feeding? What is the consistency and temperature? Temperature is very important. Make some formula with a few drops of apple cider vinegar or applesauce to try and get things moving.
