I think this is my 3rd post this past week... not a good week so far

I have yet another chicken that's all fluffed up; Brigid, my JG. She's walking around and everything with her feathers fluffed, but her crop is slightly full and squishy. No sour smell.

I have a feeder left in the run for them all night, but they usually wait until I fill the main feeder in the morning. I checked everyone else, and their crops are completely empty. Brigid is the only one with the squishy crop.

Here's my question, I'm hoping I'm paranoid and it's just water in there and she's just being a silly girl, but just in case, is there anything I can or should do as preventative/precautionary treatment?

If you suspect a crop issue, you need to verify it by checking it first thing in the morning before she eats or drinks. That means taking away food and water after bedtime and checking the crop before you put them out next day.

If you find the crop full and squishy, here are the treatment protocols. https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...w-to-know-which-one-youre-dealing-with.73607/
