Have not dealt with an impacted crop before - hope you can get if fixed Jennifer.
As for forums, there is the Backyard Poultry one. I tend to only read though when it comes up in Google searches. Found there is a fair bit of conflicting advice, but in most cases you can find some of the info you are after without having to actually post. Earth Garden has a poultry section, they are (or where in the past, been awhile) quite knowledgeable and friendly.
We are seriously looking at culling our flock and starting again. We got in a couple of dud batches of faverolles eggs and the girls have not been good. Two very undersized, who have both since died. Sweet little girls, just wish I separated them sooner for their own safety. They would have been no good for breeding, but would have made someone a nice pet. Also had crooked beaks in other birds. Add to that we have egg eaters. Hard to pick which ones are doing it, so for all the food, we are not getting many eggs. Probably need $500 for the better incubator and to bring in eggs from a more trusted source.
