An update as requested. She is still making that strange sound. Still backing away and pawing at her chest.
She is eating and drinking though and although still skinny, she does not seem any worse.
This is amazingly helpful thank you.
They are all free range and have about an acre to scratch around. We don’t have crushed oyster shells but plenty of grit for them to pick up while scratching around.
Her poop looks normal
It’s my fathers flock but he has dewormed
Nothing of note by her neck. No large pin feathers or anything odd like that
No eggs yet I believe. Although it’s hard to tell when she is with her flock
And yes we have a rooster but she is separated at the moment
And ye that...
Please help figure out what is wrong with our chicken. I have tried to look online but not found anything that explains this behaviour.
Chicken is eating and drinking. Approx 8 months old. No other chickens showing the same symptoms.
Seems fine in itself but keeps pawing at its chest/crop...
