hen with large hard crop *not just food*

[Chickens are awsome]

I have a 3 1/2-year-old blue andalusian hen that has been having crop issues the past 2 weeks (waited to make sure it wasn't just food) she seems to have lost some weight as well.
Her crop is abnormally shaped and hard as a rock, she seems to try to adjust it by doing some weird head movements.
none of my other birds have had this issue. No signs of trauma.
she eats and drinks fine. her poop is good.
I haven't done any major treatment I did massage her crop for a bit but didn't seem to do any thing.
she is with the rest of my chickens in a straw bed, could she have eaten some and it got stuck?


Thx to those who respond <3

She's eating/drinking normally?

When are you checking her crop?
Check her crop first thing in the morning before she's had anything to eat/drink. If it's still full after a full night's sleep, then treat according to the article linked below.

I have been checking it early in the morning. yes, she has been eating and drinking normally she has always been sort of a lighter eater though.

Early in the morning as in before she has any food access?

I think I'll give her a bit of coconut oil tomorrow and see if it helps. I'll also take a pic of her crop.

Her crop was hard this morning. when I gave them water she was drinking how she usually does.
