Rice? have you ever heard the rumor of throwing rice at weddings and the birds well...exploding??? Have never tested this "trial" but must be some theory behind it . now they blow bubbles or throw bird seed when the bride and groom depart for their honeymoon. May Be a crazy theory? but I have never provided rice, cooked or uncooked, to my flock. Is her crop swollen/enlarged? Is she having trouble breathing....like "weezing". Unable to catch her breath? Could be a number of things. Post a video if possible..or pictures? Please...

I am always careful not to give long grass to chickens. When they eat grass on their own, they snip it off bite by bite, buy long cut grass can cause problems . I did have chickens gat impacted crops from long grass before. However, if her crop is fine, it probably isn't grass. Maybe she has an infection and needs an antibiotic.

What is the rest of her diet like? Do you have any others flock members that are ill? How is she doing today? How about that video? Please...

Chicken farmers also feed rice that is soaked, then kept moist. This is to create sprouts. The chickens love it. Might want to try that with the chickens.
