Can chickens crops become swollen without actually becoming compacted. I gave the girls some mashed potatoe and broccoli at about 7.00 and went to put them to bed at a about 8.00. Prue was sitting on the floor of the hen house looking very sorry for herself and her crop was just a huge bulge . Could it be she has just been a little piggy and eaten too much and it will sort itself out or has she got an impacted crop. Any thoughts.

All of mine have a huge bulge in their crops by the evening. The crops fill up all day and empty overnight.

 

If the crop is full in the morning, then it might be impacted crop.
