What's wrong with this hen? Right breast looks swollen (pic)

[Hennypen]

She acts completely normal, she can fly up to her loft, she walks everywhere.

What is it? If it is something, how can I fix it?

 

[mrbstephens]

Her crop is full.

 

[Hennypen]

Is that ok? One sided?

 

[mrbstephens]

Their crop is on one side. It gets full from eating. Late in the day it looks huge and then in the morning it'll be small again. The food will empty from the crop down to the stomach. Totally normal.

Great thanks!

I guess with all the bugs and seeds that are out now it makes sense.

 

[mrbstephens]

Just check her in the morning. If it's back to normal then no problems.

And if it stays full, becomes impacted, you can force a couple of eye droppers of mineral oil down her gullet, massage the crop, and she should be fine. I just did this to my hen last night, and today she's as good as new. This isn't necessary unless the crop is impacted, stays full, and won't empty for days.
