My hen has been lethargic and withdrawn for the last week and today would not come out of coop just huddled in the corner all day. Her crop was squishy and when I touched it tonight she started to make these weird movements jerking her head right up in the air, stretching her neck out and shaking her head to either side.
Now I think about it she has always had this weird thing of shaking her head - it looks like she is trying to dislodge something in her ear or shaking something off her head. (Nothing like the jerky movements she was doing tonight though. )
Help? Any idea what it could be? She is drinking bit not eating and is just huddled up with her eyes closing all day.
Any advice appreciated. Thanks.
