I'm sure this has been asked many times before so sorry if it's a repeat. One of my Rouens has been starting to cough on occasion lately. It's not very often but sometimes it'll be one or two or he'll have a mini cough fit. I took a video but I'll need a better connection to upload it on. He will sometimes bloat his neck up when it happens. Food doesn't seem to cause it but it has happened while eating but elsewhere as well. He's acting normally otherwise. Molting quite a bit at this point. No discharge and preening regularly. They do have access to water all the time and can clear their navels. I've also been providing vitamins and electrolytes. My other Rouen has no signs of it.
Also, is it normal for them to eat feathers? My other Rouen will pick them off the ground every now and then and I'm not sure if that means she's missing something from her diet or if she just likes them.
