i'd check her for ear mites first, a crop issue will be large an swollen, not going down by morning- squishy if sour, hard if impacted- have you wormed her

Just for the laughs

And, if it had 3 doors, it would be a hatchback!

ear mites would cause dizzy, uncoordinated, shaking of the head- they actually will get into the ear- i use ivermec to treat for mites, you could dab a little poultry dust or seven on the ear and see if that changes it. On the crop, it does seem large, lots of questionable treatments out there for crops, i'll send you a file a friend wrote on crop issues- how does her breath smell?

on worming, this is my two choices- i worm twice a year- alot of times you won't know they have worms until an autopsy- they can even become paralyzed from a heavy infestation-

Okies it's such a beautiful day out there today I'm past caring that I probably have 7 cockerels of the 10 EE's that hatched on Feb 8. Oh, squeak!

A great day in central Oklahoma. I was able to clean some hutches and make some adjustments to the coop as well.

Ear mites will cause serious head shaking. There can be a waxy crust on the feathers at the ear.
I use Otisclens, a product used on ear mites for dogs and cats. I massage the ears with a few drops to soften the crust. I use Ivomec on the skin at the shoulder blades. The head shaking stops in a few days.
