I haven’t experienced any crop problems yet! Do you provide grit to them?
You’ll see in some soon updates here in a few days I dealt with a chicken who only laid the yolk and white of an egg (twice! That I’m aware of). She hasn’t yet to lay an egg since, I hope she’s just laying them somewhere crazy that I haven’t found yet.
Mine freerange in the backyard, plenty of grit, but also occasional weird stuff they may have eaten...
I got a shell-less egg the other day. I don't know who laid it, but I suspect it was one of the older gals.

You know, it may be possible that there isn't enough grit, or even the wrong kind of rock available in your back yard. It could be something to consider grabbing some next time you go buy feed. I bought a 50# bag of grit for only $10 and that was in AUGUST with my 24 chickens. Haha, I still have a lot of it left!

$10/50lb is cheep hehe may as well try. Btw, the sour crop occurs here maybe once every couple or three years? It could be confirmation bias, or it could correlate with Dog Vomit Slime Mold and excessive lawn shroom outbreaks

Oooh, for some reason I assumed it happened often. That's not bad at all. But I did read that people noticed a decline on their feed bill after providing grit? I can't say how accurate that is, but it's worth a go! I am so glad it is not something that happens all the time for you. Whew.
