Full crop, worried.

[johari]

One of my month old chicks had what i thought was a tumor on the right side of it's chest. But then upon closer inspection i realized that it wad just her crop full of food. It is just the chick starter food, but she is the only one of my 8 chicks that this happens to. Is this normal? Is she just a glutton? Lol.

I might be impacted crop. Not too bad a problem if you fix it right away. I havent had had this happen to me before, but she might have like just eaten. perhaps a person with Impacted Crop knollege will come. You might wanna google it to see if she has it or not.

I panicked a week ago because my 6 week had the same thing. I noticed it when I put them to bed, I double checked it in the morning and it was gone. She is a piggy and I think just fills to the brim every day

It goes away after a short time. But it still freaks me out.
