If you are unsure, I would take the feed out tonight just to check her in the morning so you can be certain she wouldn't have a full crop then. There is information on impacted crop and sour crop in the first link in my signature.

I did not know about impacted crop until another BYCer told me...bcs had chick doing same thin at 2 wks...she recovered...so that's what I told you and she is fine. Take out food over night they will be fine..(not starve) maybe mad LOL When I found her crop enlarged I was afraid but after found it happens was ok...It can happen all their life...feels like BIG tumor in throat--gone after about a day...hope this helps...and as babies they are not sure what to do either..just like use....PM and let me know how all goes...

this just isn't our year... the little one didn't make it... my GF took her out to hold her for a while( she is a sort of reki adept... no formal training, just a butt load of talent)... I have seen her bring stuff back from the brink more than once, but it wasn't enough for this one... she went into uncontrollable spasms about 1:30AM for about 5 min then passed... we now are down to 4 meepers, who luckily, show absolutely no sign of any illness... we cleaned the brooder out just in case...
