Crowing
Not sure if I’m posting this is the right section but here it goes.
My six week old chick ate something and then her throat was moving as if she had the hiccups. At first it looked like a feeble attempt to crow while not making a sound. I picked her up and felt her throat just to feel a lump in her throat moving around in circles. I massaged the bump down her throat and after she swallowed a few times it was gone.
They don’t have any worms that I know of and she is a perfectly healthy bird. The lump is no longer there and she drank a lot of water after swallowing it.
Should I worry or did she just swallow a live fly? Or did she just have the hiccups?
