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 :lol: But hers was HUGE  :ohmy:

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.
