Treerooted
Crowing
Updated picture:
Anyone have some ideas on this? I know it's hard to see in the images, but the left breast looks compressed compared to the right.
The backstory:
This hen along with her Barnvelder counter part, rarely leave the coop. I assume this is mostly because of flock dynamics, as my silver-laced Wyandotte is often in there with them along with the subordinate Barny roo.
I did notice her chest, I think it was last week or earlier, but looked closely at the other hens and realized it was a natural depression (and thought the timid chicken may not be filling up her crop as full).
Today however it seemed much more cavernous so I picked her up off the roost and fed her from my hand then put her down. She eat just fine and had a drink of water. She left the coop and I started to noticed that she was sort of leaning to one side. Her neck was tilted slightly to the right as she walked.
Other then these two symptoms she seems to be fine, not weak or off balance, just timid and a bit bullied.
