The crop or pouch in a bird's throat where food is stored before digestion, or the stomach of an insect.
From Old English 'crawa,' possibly related to Old Norse 'krá' meaning crop. The word has remained relatively unchanged for over a thousand years, originally referring to the bird's storage organ.
Your chicken's craw is like a biological waiting room—food hangs out there temporarily before moving to the real stomach, and it's why birds can eat quickly and digest slowly.
