    Help Me ID Sound (Audio Included) - Hen Congestion/ Can't Walk

    @Weeg @Wyorp Rock Yes, I will go to town later today and see if I can't find some! I guess to rephrase when I say front heavy I just mean that because she can't use her feet she has a tendency to sit on her breast which I don't think is especially comfortable for her. I believe her crop is...

It looks like she is sleeping on her chest/ body. I tried to get her on her feet but she was unable to. I though it might just be that it...
