Hi everyone, I have a hen that used to have impacted crop but has been cured. She was my top layer and now multiple day after her sickness has not gotten back into egg production. Should I be concerned? She seems to be practically herself again except for the egg laying. Is the any natural...

The crop feels like it has some material and liquid inside of it. It seems to feel like a crop should. It also does not hang down like pendulous crop. Here are some images of it helps. The feather loss is just from a different hen pecking her but she has shafts growing in.

My hens crop (I believe) has been impacted for 2 days. Now after treating her, and massaging her it has become soft. The crop seems to feel the proper way, but it is extremely full even after a night of fasting. I do not believe she has sour crop because her breath smells fine but I am unsure...
