Thank you for the info. I didn’t know that it’s normal for chicks to have crops. I was so worried last night finding every single one of them had a crop, so I changed out shavings and gave them grits and coconut oil. They’re mostly gone this morning. No, they’re not distressed. They seemed normal. Thanks so much for your quick response!

I'm glad they are doing o.k.!
Yes, the little ones can fill up and have big looking crops, it's alarming at times. Giving the coconut oil didn't hurt a thing, they probably liked it.
Thank you for updating.
