My hen has a crest on its breast, please reply!

I'm not SUPER concerened about this, but my hen has just started laying (she had a crest on her chest MONTHS ago!) and she has this little line on her breast representing two flabs of feathers..

See that? You couldn't really see that on camera, in real life the crest is MUCH longer. I just need to know if its major or minor, I think I need clearer photos of this, I'll post an update and better photo of this, tell me what you know if you can in the meantime!

This is me and this photo was taken just this minute.. I can barely make her hold still! So here's the crest,

It looks like she has a full crop, (the enlarged bump on one side of her chest) that's probably causing the crease in her chest feathers.


She looks very healthy to me.
