Hi,
I have 5 five week old chicks who have been doing really well. But when I went to feed/water them this evening, all 5 have enlarged crops (some worse than others, and I assume this is what it is) They are fed Chick mash, and are in a run with Mama hen, they did get out the other day when we moved their run, but other than this 5 minutes have not had access to any large plants or other food.The Barred Plymouth Rock is the worse, but the leghorns and pekins also have it. What do I do, and why would this happen?
Thanks in advance.
