Impacted Crop

[Break an Egg]

I have a 13 week old EE pullet that seems to have a very full crop all of the time. I am restricting food tonight, just to see if her crop will be smaller in the morning. I massaged her crop tonight and later, my stepdaughter said she threw up.

I don't know if this is good or bad. I am hoping that she will not need me to try and empty it.

Does anyone have any advice?

I raised this girl from a chick and I am very attached.

do not feed scratch grains...restrict from ranging until you have the issue sorted out. Use the search function here (you will find MANY threads) and here is my info on it:
