gagging hen

[lynnc1120]

Hi,
I am new to raising chickens and noticed tonight as my 3 15 week old girls sat on my lap that my barred rock was making a gagging motion every so often. She wasn't making any noise as she did this, but seems a bit more tired than her usual self. Any ideas?

If they are eating sometimes the dry food can hang up a bit. Keep an eye on her and see if she doesn't stop.

Thank you Welasharon, I will watch for her.

Pip don't seem to be gagging anymore. It probably was, like you said, welasharon, that she had some food stuck... she is so food centered, I am not too surprised. Thanks for the reply!
