I noticed a hen of mine. Isa brown, is acting different. Stands in one area, I can approach and she doesn't do anything, pick her up, no struggle. I put her back in Coop and she falls forward. Some of my hens are molting, and I just added 2 older isa browns, who are doing well (I kept them isolated for 3 weeks). They all went through new pecking order.
I've removed her, she looks healthy, comb is ok, feathers are full. I washed her up and put her inside and gave her an exam (I'm not a farmer, so just looked her over). She has some hardened quills (suspect from molting) between her wing and back, and what looked like some loss of feathers. I pulled back some more and discovered an enlarged bump above her right windlg, behind her throat leaning to the right side of her spine.
I don't know what to do. I am watching her and she keeps lifting her beak upwards, kindve like a gap reflex of trying to swallow. Beak has white foamy substance.
Hel if you can!
