I got up this morning to put the chickens in the run and one of my chickens just seemed out of it. I picked her up and she just fell asleep in my arms,which is very unusual for her. I put her down and she just stood there and didn’t eat. Then she walked behind the coop and went to sleep again. Her crop is hard but not very full. Could this be Impacted crop? If it is then what should I do? Thanks

If believe impacted crop:
Hold Food till resolves
Give plenty of fresh water
Massage crop
Provide age appropriate grit to aid digestion

If won’t take water may need to encourage or syringe a little to her at a time.

If does not resolve consult vet.
