Thank you. I’ll try this!

No it’s actually soft.. but last night when she was drinking there was a bit of a gurgling sound every time she drank..

My hen started getting sick yesterday. She isn’t moving much. Sleeping a lot, downturned tail, droopy comb that is discoloured around the edges (darker). She’s drinking a little (I have put electrolytes in her water) eating a little bit but mostly just sleeping with her head tucked under her...
