I have a hen, who has been keeping her head and neck down; quacking a lot more than usual, and sitting lower to the ground. She will, also hold her mouth open for several seconds. She’s eating and pooping. She wash her tail, a LOT. She isn’t stumbling. I’m not sure what’s going on.

I have a 21 week old Easter Egger, who recently began laying.
This morning she was cackling in the coop, like she was startled. At least it sound like an alarm cackle. When I opened the main door, she was scratching around in the coop, like she was looking for something? When I left, she...
