Ok, so does a very large, semi squishy crop ALWAYS mean sour/impacted crop? I picked my roo up after feeding him a hard boiled egg *wich he LOVED* and taking pics of his comb for this thread:

Anyhow, his crop is much larger than it normally is when he is "full". It wasn't this way earlier this afternoon, so maybe he just got real hungry?!
He was eating fine this evening before I my discovery and seemed to be active and normal acting. I put him to bed, and will see how it is first thing in the morning. I searched and found lots of treatment advice on impacted crops, but I elected to put him to bed without any treatment tonight in case I am just over-reacting... Should I have done something tonight? Was I wrong to take the wait-and-see response? Sorry for bothering y'all with this stupid, mundane question,
as I'm sure all the mods and experienced chook people get sick of them, but I dearly
my boy and only want the best for him...
