My pullet who is 12 weeks old has so much in her gizzard she looks like she ate a softball. Nothing feels wierd and she seems okay otherwise. I might put out some more grit but I was just checking with all of you peeps to see if I should be concerned?

If she is acting normally, I would say that she is just fine...and, a good eater :)

If you want to make sure, do not feed her overnight. In the morning, her crop should be empty. If it is, all is fine :)

FYI...that's her crop. Her gizzard is located internally and can't be felt/seen.
