Sick hen?

[cackleberryandco]

My hen is acting funny. She didn’t go up to roost tonight, it seems like she can’t walk. She was eating and drinking but she’s all puffed up, and she keeps doing a weird biting motion with her mouth, it’s different than the normal yawn/crop adjustment.
Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Update: we looked in her mouth and there was a small piece of food stuck under her tongue, that probably explains why she was doing the weird mouth motion. Still confused about the rest tho!

When's the last time she laid an egg? What does her poop look like? What is her diet (including treats, supplements, and the amounts of each)?

Check her crop for impaction and her abdomen for swelling or a stuck egg. If her crop is full now and doesn't empty in the morning it is likely impacted.
