I noticed yesterday my 2.5 year old hen who has had pendulous crop for two years, didn't have a swinging crop when she ran to me.
She has lost a lot of her feathers during this molt, looks a smidge thinner, feels lighter, but otherwise eating and drinking.... I did catch her resting a lot yesterday, puffed up and all.
I picked her up this morning before letter them all out for the day, felt the crop, it was soft, and almost nonexistent for her!!!
What is happening?
Is the crop working better or is she starving?
I did notice a small runny nostril on her this morning...
What should I be on the look out for?
