Eek...

Just put my hens to bed when I saw one of my 6-month-olds, Jessie, outside. I was kind of suspicious because all of the chickens were inside and roosting (Or sitting on a tin can- Gracie). I looked at her and saw her crop was pretty big- full of... stuff? (Even though no free-ranging today) . It was hard and from a distance, you could notice the bump. She was totally fine- running around to occasionally stop and do that-adjusting-crop move. Brought her inside to feed her some olive oil (edit: and then returned to the coop), but now I'm kinda worried about a crop issue- or specifically a pendulous crop. I believe one of my past buff orps, Greta (RIP 2017- she was eight- meaning I'd had her for more than half my life xD) had a pendulous crop because her crop hung lower as she aged and lots of crop issues. Worried that my little nugget has some crop issues.

Lol am I being unreasonable? I'm so protected of the young ones.

At the moment I'm overrun with these little fluffballs, but Quacky is my favourite. My broody duck Squeaky hatched two this morning (the rest were rotten) I'll get some pictures later, they are so cute, and still need names
