New chicken owner here. Going on 6 months now.

Is this crown normal? Hers has always been different than the others but the last few weeks it has began to droop even more. It almost blocks one of her eyes completely.

Someone please help!

Yep, that’s completely normal! She looks like a Legbar or an Olive Egger with Legbar in her ancestry, and those often have very floppy combs just like yours. She’s a very pretty girl!

P.S. It’s technically called a comb, not a crown :p
Haha okay that’s great to hear! And thanks for clarifying that. Still a rookie at this!

I appreciate it again.

She's just herself, the lovely way she's made.
 
Both of our white leghorns have big combs that flop over so far they cover an eye. We call them our emo hens. It fits because they are both rather dramatic. 😆

It's totally normal. They can see around it and it doesn't bother the hens at all.

As others have said, totally normal.
I love those crazy combs!
