How does her crop feel?

Isolating her at night without any feed will allow you to examine her crop in the morning before she can eat anymore, to make sure it is emptying properly........and allow you to look at her droppings to see what is making it thru her intestines.

If the eyes are the window to the soul, the poops are the windows to the intestines.....haha.

Then she can go out of the cage in the morning and eat and run around as much as she wants....
.....tho feeding her before you let her out might help as you said she was getting bullied from feeders.

I read it....I still think leave her....If she needs to release something it will happen more often if she is loose than crated...Hoping off a Roost they poop....I like all your info aart...We all want to help...This time I might be right....?

This is not a competition about who is right and who is wrong.

We both have good points here...she needs to move around and be active but isolating at night could give good clues to what is wrong.
