heavy chest!

jackie · « **on:** September 14, 2010, 11:56 »

one of my hens has got a very heavy chest.My husband says it is her crop and nothing to worry about. But it nearly touches the floor! also she seems to pluck at it. Other than that she is in good health. Eating and drinking well and generally quite happy. Any advise please. Is this something to worry about?

If its soft and squidgy feeling Jackie, it could be sour crop or if its hard it could be impacted crop.

there's some good info on both here...
