    How to tend for injuries by hawks?

    I have her separated for now in a spare coop we have in our garage where it’s a little warmer than outside.

    Vent gleet???

    I believe she is still laying eggs although it is hard to tell. And we haven't gotten any abnormal or soft shell eggs. It almost looks like she has a swollen crop, but nothing extreme looking. Her droppings look completely normal and shes still active and has no difficulty walking or running...

    Weird erratic neck movement?

    Good morning everyone! I just checked on the girls and she's not moving her neck like that anymore. I tried to feel her neck and there's no swelling at all either. I guess I'll keep everyone posted and if I notice any issues with her neck in the near future ill let you all know!
