    I am new to chicken ownership (two years) and I have this same exact problem. I noticed about three days ago that my light brahma had a huge crop and was it was super hard. I massaged it and took away the pellets. For the last three days I have only been feeding them (I have three chickens)...

    Thank you for your advice "lovestocook". I do try to pamper them. I give them table scrapes, they are weeding and bugging out my garden until I get ready to plant (which is soon... yeppie). What type of "treats" do you give your chickens?

    Hello to all and thank you for the warm welcomings. Yes they definately seem to be traumitized. They were laying nonstop for the past two years and than bam right after this attack all egg production was put to a halt.
