Sour crop?

[Jhsugg560]

Hello,
I have noticed the last few nights Pumpkins crop has been a little squishy like I can massage it around not firm. This morning when I let the chickens out her crop was slightly squishy not flat like the others. I don’t notice a smell at her beak or gurgling noises. Could this just be normal or sour crop? I have her eating yogurt now and ACV in their water.
I did notice her crop looks to be hanging a little low? I have a picture down at the bottom.
Thanks!

How's your hen doing? So her crop is still full in the morning? Is she acting lethargic at all?

She’s acting slightly lethargic (it is high 90s here and they are all kinda sluggish), but still eating and drinking like normal. She was adjusting her crop a lot yesterday so I lightly massaged it. I would say it’s full in the morning but not totally flat. I’ve never had a crop issue so I feel paranoid

It does sound like it could be sour crop. I'll tag some more knowledgeable people. @azygous @Wyorp Rock @Eggcessive

One of my older chickens had this a couple weeks ago. I ended up buying a crop bra online which I have been putting on her at night and it helped massively. If her crop is still not emptying it might be worth trying.
