Hello, my 5-6 month old Muscovy girl has been acting very odd this past week.
She recently started tweeting/peeping, and she never trills anymore.
She keeps her neck scrunched up and her feathers fluffed up, and her tail is always pointing down.
When I ask people they say “oh she’s fine”
But they don’t know her, she’s acting so weird.
She throws up when she peeps because she keeps her head pointed down and forces it up.
She started laying eggs 3 weeks ago, which I wonder if that has anything to do with the way she’s acting.
I want to take her to a vet but I’m 15, and my mom would have to be the one to take her, and my mom won’t do it because she doesn’t want to spend the money.
Here’s a picture of her tail pointing down, which it was always up.
And here’s a picture of her neck scrunched up
I do not want any comments saying “I’m sure she’s okay” because I know the way she’s acting isn’t normal.
We have 2 other Muscovys and our female tends to pick on her, so I wonder if she could also be depressed because of that, but she still hangs around her all the time. I was wondering if she was going broody, but she doesn’t get back on her nest after she gets off in the morning.
She started running away from us now, and she never used to do that.
Help me please
