the rest of them are OK. The easiest for me to do is to remove the food. Will that be OK for the other four?It is normal for chicks to have full crops after eating. Is it abnormally full and hard? Does it go down at all? Is the chick on pine savings? Sometimes when they are little they will eat the pine shavings and get an impacted crop. You can put them on paper towels or sand for awhile to get them to quit. Some will eat sand, too. If you think the crop is firm you can give a 1/4 tsp of olive or vegetable oil with a dropper and massage the crop a little to see if it goes down.
