Pendulous Crop??

[chirpingstad]

I have been treating my chicken who I believe has sour crop. I’ve been giving her crop massages and feeding her softened pellets with egg and yogurt and then giving her crop massages afterwards. I’ve noticed her crop kind of droops a little bit but I can’t tell if it’s normal or if it has evolved into pendulous crop. Added a couple pictures below.

No, your hen has a normal profile. A pendulous crop would be very obvious, hanging down like a sack of potatoes.

Here's some info on crop disorders. https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...w-to-know-which-one-youre-dealing-with.73607/

One of my girl's crop looks similar but she was moving her head like she had a impacted crop and I did all treatments and its still not fully emptying but its never been rock solid, did you have any of these issues? Please let me know!
