Not to really argue, but the OP reports the crop may be impacted. An impact can also be lower in the gizzard or even the intestines, but since the crop is hard, we know it's not moving.As for scratch and peck being a problem for her crop, not if she has grit available to her. Personally I would stick to growers in future though if that is what you can get. It ensures your girls will get the nutrients they require instead of that they want![]()
Scratch and Peck feed is a "loose" feed that is made of various ingredients (a powdered vitamin/mineral mix is added to this when manufactured) like pictured below. This type of feed needs to be processed. Adding hard grains and grit to a crop that is stopped up/not function well will make it even harder to clear. Even if this type of feed is soaked, it's going to be hard to process.
Using a commercial crumble or pellet and soaking it into a mush, will hopefully get some nutrients into her and she will be able to pass that with minimal processing.
