    I have an 8 week old chick whose crop does not empty in the mornings. I would say if it was 100% full in the evening, it empties about 30% overnight, so around 70% is still left in the mornings. I have withdrawn food overnight a few times to confirm this is what is happening. In the mornings...

    Hen with swollen watery crop, not eating or pooping

    Big Bertha is a nearly 2 year old red sex link. Two days ago we noticed she wasn't really eating. Her crop was big and squishy and she was kind of burping and moving her neck funny. We checked her crop yesterday morning and it wasn't any smaller. When I picked her up, she spit out some brown...

However, water, bits of food, and other stuff still spills from her...
