Chirping
My 18 month old girl Snowball is not pooping at night. Last night was the second night. She's always had way less poop than my other girls. I can tell because she sleeps on a different roost by herself. I checked her crop before bed but she is hard to handle so I couldn't palpate fully but I could definitely tell it wasn't full and hard like my other girls. I took out their food and water overnight and checked her crop this morning and it was empty. She is eating drinking and behaving normally. Her comb is still dark red. She has stopped laying, but she is in a soft molt.
I'm not sure if she's emptying her crop before bed or if I should be concerned about impacted crop. I had a girl with impacted/sour crop last year and I'm pretty sure it was worms. Should I go ahead and worm them or what should else can I do?
