Hi all. Would appreciate some advise, have a hen that has a rather large crop area, have posted pics… is this normal? Or something I should be concerned about. She does seem to be acting normally… but it really is fairly large… I took a pic of her by herself… which you can see it’s quite large. Then the other pic is with another hen.

She might just be big eater. As long as it's empty in the morning and she continues to behave normally, I wouldn't worry about it.
I have a Black Australorp that has a large crop like that more often than not. She is 4.5 years old and has never been sick.
