I have had chicks now for a grand total of three days. Today when I was holding the 6 week old Olive Egger, I felt bumps where her crop would be, but they feel like they are on the surface. I couldn't get a good look, because when I started to poke around she tried to peck at my fingers - and as I said I've had chicks for three days - so I let her down. Then I came in and googled it - and now I'm worried that she might have impacted crop? I had been throwing some grass clippings in not realizing that would be a problem - thinking that the dirt in the run would give enough grit for a small amount of grass. It doesn't look distended, I just felt it with my fingers, and as I said, it felt like they were on the surface of the skin. Could I be feeling something else?
