Yesterday morning I noticed my barred rock pullet had a distended crop that was soft to the touch. She was rather sluggish and uninterested in food. I didn't have much time yesterday, but this morning the cropped looks slightly flatter, though she was a tad more listless. When I moved the other pullets to a different pen, she hardly cared that she was left alone. She feels a little lighter than usual as well.
Looking online, I'm thinking maybe she has sour crop? The source I found recommended isolating her without food or water for ~12 hours, and massaging the crop top to bottom every few hours. I've started this process, but I thought I'd check here as well.
These pictures were from yesterday morning.
Her comb looks a little paler today as well.
