Chicken drinking weird

[Spoiledchooks]

Does anyone have an answer as to why my hen is drinking like this? I have 2 girls doing it for some time now… the other 25 seem to drink normally

Not in my flock. But chickens do possess individual "style".

To be safe, feel with your fingers around the throat to be sure nothing is obstructing it. Feel a chicken who is drinking the conventional way for comparison.

really hard to tell…. Don’t know what I’m doing lol. I think her throat seems bigger than her sisters… they definitely don’t like their throat being palpated

Just keep an eye on them. As long as they're getting enough food and water, there's no problem. But we won't know for a while if this is the beginning of something problematic or if it's just a quirk. Watch for any changes in eating and drinking habits and general behavior.

Will do Tks… had been doing this for a while now… hasn’t gone away so that’s why I figured I’d ask if anyone else has experienced this and what it was
