HELP IS THIS NORMAL

[TyRi]

Just got them home from the mail and one chick is making a like coughing movement after eating some crumble. IS SHE OKAY?

 

[TyRi]

And shaking her head a lot

 

[TyRi]

Hoping is subsides soon!

it over ate, usually when my older ones over eat they shake their head and spit it out, I would leave it alone because the food could go down the wrong pipe, make sure there’s some fresh water for it to drink, hopefully it subsides on its own

It usually happens when they haven’t eaten in a while or when (in my experiences) they’re trying to hog it all because chickens are fat lil nuggets

Great news she is acting normal again! I had a freak out because the first batch of mail order chicks in February had a similar motion and i had ended up losing them!

Yeah with little ones there’s a huge chance of it going down the wrong pipe than an adult think you choking vs a two year old choking
