possible crop impaction??? help please

[grace112]

I have a one week old silkie who i believe has a crop impaction her little crop is kinda large and though not real hard it's a lot more firmer than her siblings she is eating and drinking fine and she's jumping around like all the others but this large crops got me worried and id rater see if i could do something to help it from getting worse than waiting and seeing what happens

Don't do anything yet. She might have just ate a lot of food. If you want to be sure she is okay, separate and don't feed her. It should go down by itself, if it doesn't, let us know.

Seeing as she is running around, eating, drinking and acting normally. I wouldn't worry too much,

thanks for the info i separated her last night and half of today and that bulge went down real good i think she did just eat a lot she is the little piggie of the group i was just a little worried cause these are the first chicks I've raised from day one and i check the over at least once a day everyday just to make sure my fuzzy babies are ok
