I'm afraid I may have let her eat too much tonight. Her crop is moderately full after her bedtime meal. Is that bad? Do I need to keep her crop fullness at a minimum?

I really hope so. Am going to limit her more tomorrowOver filling the crop this soon after crop surgery isn't a wonderful idea, but since she was the one who filled it, she probably felt comfortable eating what she did. She should be fine.
It went down a lot but not completely this morning. Should I still feed her a small amount or continue to wait?I really hope so. Am going to limit her more tomorrow
