I think they had a discussion in here on this this subject last summer, In the Chicken RX book it is known as SOURCROP someone posted tip leaning chicken forward head downward very softly massage crop area but for breif period they literally throw up junk in crop. There might be some good reading you can look up right away especially if the chickens breath smells bad the crop needs to be emptied. The book says it happens when there is some heavy rouhage in diet and not enough good grits to chop it all up.can become infected and eventually systemic infection. Your lucky if its soft , if hard they put eye droppers of mineral oil to loosen up hardness for up 2 24 hrs then try to empty crop.
