Just feel for it on the right side of breast. Usually pretty obvious (one girl felt like she ate a tennis ball the other night!), most others are not quite so full but still easy to feel.Aart, how do you check a chicken's crop?
To make sure they are filling up before roosting.aart, if I check crops I do it in the morning to make sure its empty. What specifically are you looking for by checking at night?
If I need to check for crop function, I crate them at night with water but no feed, then check in morning to make sure crop is empty and can see condition of poops, which can be telling. Pic here of how crate is set up with tray underneath to catch poops without it being stepped on(mostly).
