ok so I heard massaging the crop can help chicks if their having trouble and I did that. she was fine for about 40 min or so then she started twitching again, albeit not as often or for as long. hopefully it's just digestion troubles, still open to any advice!

here's a video I took, I also noticed her crop is pretty hard. is it possible that it's impacted crop? how would I treat that?

I went out to my coop this morning and found one of my hens were just laying on her back dead and I'm worried for my other girls! She was acting normally yesterday, they all had plenty of food water and shade. When I found her she was on her back and her wattles and most of her comb were...

Thank you so much for replying, you saved me a lot of worrying! And I'll make sure to watch out for that. Thank you.

Please help it's the first day my chicks have left the brooder and are in the coop, they were fine in the morning and pecking around happily but now that it's dark they won't stop crying! They're fully feathered and 6 weeks old. Is this normal or is there something wrong? Please help me..
