Good morning,
We have a 9 year old SLW hen. For the past 5 or so days, she's been making this sound that sounds somewhat like a couch or a hiccup. She hasn't been extremely active, and hasn't been pooping very often. When she does, they're very small.
She eats and drinks fine, and still pecks the other chickens.. but she's been just sitting around puffy, then making that sound on occasion.
When she first started doing this, she was doing it every 45 seconds or so, wasn't moving and wasn't eating.. I cut her toenails (which were too long), and she started moving around more.. she finally started eating and drinking, and now is eating fine again.
She still is really puffy and sleepy, and still makes this sound on occasion.. maybe every 10 minutes or so. I can hear her breathing heavily, too.
Any idea what could be wrong? All of the other chickens are fine.
Thanks
