You are probably just feeling her crop with food in it. In the morning when her crop should normally be empty, feel of it to see if it is full and hard. That might be impacted crop. If it is full and squishy with a lot of air, it may be sour crop. If her crop is impacted, give plenty of water and massage the crop several times a day. Make sure you give her some probiotics a couple of times a week--a small amount of buttermilk or plain yogurt would work, too. Here is more information about crop problems: http://www.tillysnest.com/2012/01/crop-issues.html
