    No worries, but you're still missing the question: Is the crop empty in the morning? A chicken feeds before it goes to roost for the night, giving them a full or nearly full crop. As the bird sleeps, that food in the crop moves into their digestive tract to be processed for nourishment...

    No, this is not normal. Have you checked her crop each morning? Her crop should be full in the evening and empty before she feeds in the morning. If her crop is not emptying overnight, it is possible that she has an Impacted Crop, and if left untreated can turn into sour crop, a whole other...
