A pendulous crop... PERFECT way to describe it. Poor Potpie sounds like she's in the same boat as Pammy. So, you didn't do anything for Pammy, then?

No I never did do anything for Pammy. It was nonexistent in the mornings and then hanging down and swinging by evening. It never seemed to cause her any problems.

I'll leave Potpie's belly alone, then. She is otherwise fine... nice, shiny feathers, lays, and has no other health problems.
