I have a question. Tonight when I was putting the girls up for the night I noticed a couple of them had pretty full crops. The crops were very soft. Is there a problem that I should be concerned about?

My first eggs. I found them Wednesday night and then I found one Thursday morning and Thursday afternoon.
