Where does the food in their crops go?

[Barbeque]

One of my chicks, Zeus, had his crop full. I think it was his crop, it felt kind of bumpy? But yeah, do they swallow it? I dunnoooo

Correct me if I'm wrong but it goes from the crop to the gizzard, then into the stomach? and intestines.

Miss Red, you forgot to mention how it finally ends up on the floor

Yep, crop to gizzard, to intestines to floor or inside of your outside shoes.

The crop is akin to our stomachs. It holds food till it can move along the digestive tract. Their gizzard is like our teeth. Like us, from small intestine down, it is about the same process. Small intestine to digest/asorb, large to prepare for deposit.
