    Full Crop Won't Clear

    I noticed about two weeks ago that my 16 week old pullet had an enlarged crop. No worries, didn't think much of it. I only noticed because she started to make a gesture like she was gagging (I know chickens can't gag, but that was what it looked like). Went on a vacation and came back, and it...
