How to treat sour crop

A reminder to watch your chooks for flystrike this time of year, particularly if you have breeds with heavily feathered backsides. I had a Pekin rooster get it a few weeks back, luckily picked it up early and he was fine after getting cleaned up and a bath. It's not common but I've seen it about 4 times in all the years of owning many chickens.
I just seen the most bizarre thing ever then.
A light Sussex hen just caught a small bird with its beak mid flight and ran off with it. Threw a big bit of wood at it to finally get it to let go but the bird was dead.

Probably not going to be a great mother
Might be worth separating her if theres chicks around
