Does it feel big & full first thing in the morning GG before she has eaten anything?

Have a good look and feel at it in the morning

If it's full & hard first thing in the morning then it could be impacted crop. If it's full & squishy like a water filled balloon then it could be sour crop.

Loads of info on both here:

Has she laid recently??? You mention she is "big" does she feel big in her crop -or is it her belly too?
