AndreaT Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Hi all, I've just noticed one of my week old chicks has a really big crop. I've not noticed it in any of the others before and it wasn't like it this morning, is it something I should worry about or wait to see if it goes down? Thanks!

sjp Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 just check it before they get to feed in the morning if it's still big it might be a problem but it's more likely a low ranking chick that's fills up when it can so as to avoid been bullied Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreaT Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 Thanks sjp. I noticed before they went to bed that two of them were like it but when I let them out this morning they were all fine. I guess they are just greedy babies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they are just greedy babies! that's normal the crop should be full at bedtime for chicks and adults, it's just more noticeable with some birds more than others. as I keep naked necks I see it more so only tend to notice if a bird isn't showing a full crop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
