Is my chicken dying

Hi! I’m sorry you’re experiencing this with your hen. How old is she?

8 months nearly 9

The crop is located on the hen's right on her chest. At night it should feel full and rounded, about the size of a tennis ball, depending on the size of the chicken. In the morning it should feel flat and empty, as the food will have moved down into the gut and have been digested.
