Could the lump just be his/her crop?

After doing a little more research. I believe this may be the issue. I’ve never had this happen to any of my chickens. I will do my homework to see what I can do to help her. Thank you for your input!

Sometimes when a chicken eats a lot their crop is quite noticeable!
Check the crop early in the morning before she eats or drinks anything, if the lump is gone it was her crop!

So it was very hard this morning almost like it was an egg. Kind of freaked me out. Soft now. So check again tomorrow?
