Hi Sparrowman

The crop should feel real empty first thing in the morning, so long as they don't have food in with them over night

Have you seen her eating and drinking? Is she pooping as normal and doing other normal behaviors?
When one of my girls had a impacted crop she was twitching her head a lot looked really weird

But hers was HUGE

At any time of the day other than first thing in the morning before they've eaten you will be able to feel food in the crop.
