Can you consume the meat of a chicken that had sour crop?

As the title says. We have a chicken with a crop issue that has been repeatedly improving and then getting worse. An impaction that we seemed to clear successfully, then turned into pendulous crop and now seeming sour. No treatments seem like they’ve helped so we’re at the point of considering culling.

And if the bird is safe to eat, are there any special considerations for culling when the chicken has had a crop issue? It would be our first time culling and processing a chicken so I wanted to make sure that there’s nothing I’m missing.
