Impacted crop?

[Belovedturkey]

I have a hen who I noticed twisting her neck around, so I checked her out and her crop was hard so I’m thinking it could impacted crop. She acting normal otherwise she’ll just randomly stop and start twisting her neck. Is she ok what can I do to help her.

This can be normal crop adjusting if it doesn't last more than a day. Check her crop early in the morning. If it hasn't emptied and is still hard then you can start treatment for impacted crop.

Hi,
Just wondering if this was resolved. My English Orp is exhibiting very similar behavior. Thanks!
