    Squishy crop

    I notice that several of my chickens crop feels squishy, but it still empties at night and I haven’t noticed any other sick symptoms. Is it ok for a crop to feel squishy as long as it’s clear in the morning and the bird is acting and eating normally? Is there any other diagnosis besides...
