Help!Do Reproductive issues cause crop issues??

[Jose372829]

Have this little orange hen don’t know her exact breed she’s close to 2 years old and she hasn’t stopped laying since the time she later her first egg, she didn’t lay repeatedly like every day ,some times she did for a bit she had worms when she was younger that was a time she stopped laying for a week or 2 and about 2 months ago she got sour crop and stopped laying for a week. Those are the only times her body rested from laying. She didnt molt last year. This year she molted but she still layed even while molting. I know there’s nothing I can do. But do reproductive issues cause crop problems?

Her crop has a ball of food from yesterday while the other chickens crop have emptied.

Her crop feels a bit doughy she wants to eat her crumble feed but I don’t know whether or not to give her it.

So many different issues, such as reproductive disorders, worms, cancer, intestinal infections, and ascites (water belly,) can cause pressure insider the abdominal cavity, which might lead to a slow to empty crop. Slow crops can lead to impacted or sour crop. For a doughy crop, I would give some chips of cold coconut oil to her to peck 1 tsp daily. Mineral or olive oil can be used dripped over a little scrambled egg. Massage her crop to help break up the dough several times a day, and encourage water. Check the crop early in the morning before she has anything to eat or drink, to see if it is smaller or has emptied. It may take a few days.

about 2 days ago she laid something that had the shape of a lash egg but it had like the egg white and yolk inside not the meaty looking thing that most have.

Her belly is fine, don’t think she has worms she doesn’t make contact with other birds other than her other 2 friends I rarely let them out.

She laid a no shell egg and seems more energetic after laying it

That's great!
If she laid an egg she does not have a reproductive disorder.

Laying shell-less eggs can really cause them to feel lousy for awhile. So glad that she laid it and is feeling better. You may want to give her a human calcium tablet with vitamin d for 3 days in a row, in case she needs calcium.
