I believe she has inflated crop...

My chicken just randomly stopped walking. I found her on the ground toppled over, sitting there with the hair on her next all the way up. I put her inside the coop, she fell over again. Third time she managed to stand up, and has remained standing and walk some. She tried to eat a little bit of food, but it seems with her crooked beak it's making it hard.

And her crop, it's like it's crooked, to where it sort of points out and isn't really aligned with her chest. She's been like that for a while, and no problems. Any reasons for this? Whenever she's just standing there, it's like she twitches and moves her head back, to the side, then to her original position.

Please help!

If it's a young chick it could be coccidiosis. There's not enough information here to guess.

The crop on a chicken is naturally off-centre. When it's full of food it will often look like a bump that's sticking out to one side.
