does this sound odd?

[raine]

hi all, just noticed something a bit odd about one of the girls - big bertha seems to have one side of her chest bigger than the other? Is this normal? I was worried in case it's a sign of something-maybe a compacted crop? So far I haven't put any extra grit down as i thought it was all in their crumb. Then, after reading here, i ordered some last week but it hasn't arrived yet I'm a bit worried so any advice would be great.

Maybe she's just pigged out on food!!!
Mine free range - and at first I was a bit shocked as their chests looked lopsided - usually to the right!!!!

OK- so that was normal!


what d'ya think????

Brill -what would I do without you lot!

Well that's a coincidence - one of my white ones has a lopsided crop too, and on the right-hand side . I haven't worried about her as she's one of the fittest happiest chooks of the lot!

I think I just worry about everything- that's why I love this forum!

raine you sound like me!

Yep, full crop leaning towards the right

I panicked with mine as well, now they look like lopsided boobys.

Apparently if they are increadibly hard and their breath smells then they are impacted. some times I give my girls a treat of natural bio yohurt, they love it, just to keep their gut regular.

I'm glad someone's as bad as me, Minsky!
