Should my australorp have a large soft bulge on her chest?

She's just 16 weeks old. I've never noticed it until yesterday.

she may just have a nice, full crop

If it s on the right side, its just a full crop.

I got nervous when I felt that on one of my birds too! Then I learned it was just a full crop. It's so strange to feel a huge spongy bulge on them.

You can calm yourself by noting that its full at night before she roots, and ten pretty much gone in the morning.

Easy to worry when you are new. I find stuff to worry about all the time. If I didnt have anything to worry about, guess I'd have to worry about that!
