Chicken front weighted/crop problem???

[TheHappyHen678]

We have a about 1 year old blue andulusian, and her crop is swollen or something.... I've felt it and it feels really swollen but soft..? I'm not sure what to do but it is to the point where she is pretty front weighted... I don't know what to do, what it is, or what caused it. Anyone know? I post a picture later

How long has it been that way?

If it just started today, check again first thing tomorrow morning, before she wakes up and eats breakfast.

It is normal for the crop to be full in the evening and completely empty by morning. A full crop in the morning is a sign that something is not right. (But chickens like to eat breakfast as soon as they wake up, so the crop does not stay empty for long.)

In that case, I do not know what to do.

But @azygous or @Eggcessive might be able to help.
