This one is rock hard. I gave her a little bit of olive oil and massaged it, and also added some to the water. Along with taking the food up. What if it isn't down in the morning...it was hard last night to, but isn't increasing in size.

If it isn't down in the morning it could be she ate too much grit maybe. I would continue with the olive oil and gentle massage. Post again if it isn't down.

Hello, just wanted to let eveyone know that I stopped giving them grit, and everything seems to be going well. Their crops went down by the next morning. I also started feeding them smaller amounts at a time, and now feed 3x's a day instead of 2. I figured this might help with them being little piggys and make it easier for them to digest the food. Still same amount as before, just spread over 3 feedings, instead of 2. Thanks for everyones help!
