My four chicks have large crops. Should I be worried?

[Fwoof]

When I put the chickens into their pens for the evening, I noticed that my two pullets and two cockerels had large crops. I've heard of an impacted crop before, so I'm concerned for my babies. Should I be worried about this? Any advice helps.

Crops should be full at night when they go to roost.
Normal fill up for processing foods overnight.

Re-check the crops first thing in the morning before they have anything to eat/drink to see if they have emptied.

if you have any post pictures

Sorry, I don't have any and it's too dark outside to take pictures.
But if it's urgent I can always bring a chick inside the house and take a photo.

Chickens crops are always large and full at night. If they are still large and full in the morning then there is a problem.

Their crops are at a normal size, now.
