Noticed this morning ome of my hens acting funny.
She seemed to have squatted down like she was being submissive, but the roo near her didn't do anything and she just sort of fell back onto her rear and she righted herself but then had a hard time righting herself once and for all. She did eventually, though.
She then made to grab some treats I'd thrown out but she was halfhearted about it and never picked anything up.
I picked her up and noticed she had some mucus in her mouth and it was bubbly. I did notice she was holding her mouth open sometimes.
She looks to maybe be molting and also looks like the boys were a bit rough on her as she has a bald spot at the back of her head.
I've got her quarantined inside and a minute ago she just sort of flipped out for no reason. I can't really explain it well. I feel like she maybe couldn't breathe or swallow and that caused her to flip out. I've had times where I've not been able to swallow and felt a little frantic. Her motions made me think of how I felt during those times, if that explains it.
