Can a chicken get a impacted crop from eating styrofoam?

So, it appears that a hen of mine found some styrofoam and decided to peck at it while I wasn’t looking, I quickly hid it when I found out, but it looks like she ate a good amount. I was wondering why her crop was so big today and wonder if the styrofoam is the cause? She acts fine now but is there a chance she will get a impacted crop form this or something worse?
 
And her crap looks really full right now. Does she have any head jerking or anything weird like that
Nope, her poo looks fine, her crop is firm, but not squishy or rock hard. I have been seeing her sitting around a bit today which is the only odd thing about her behavior, looks fine and eats fine though.
 
Okay one of the experts on here said that she will find your thread and help you out some more. She also said to provide her with some extra grit
 
Keep an eye on her Tonight take the food away when they're sleeping so when she wakes up in the morning the first thing she doesn't do is eat. And then you could tell if her crap went down or if it's the same. And don't forget the grit. Keep me posted and let me know.
