This morning at chicken wakeup, my 2 1/2 year old Barred Rock hen went straight to the water and wouldn't stop drinking. I tried to encourage her to eat feed, but she showed no interest. She did eat some birdseed though.
I have not seen her poop this morning but my mom, who cleaned the coop, said there was normal poop under her spot. She also said that she had seen Stella eat normally on previous days.
Stella is not lethargic or showing any other obvious sign of sickness. However, we did just get a little over a week ago, so we're still figuring out what is "normal" for her.
I'm worried because her crop is already full with water and I am concerned that she might drink so much water that her crop bursts, but I also don't want to limit her access to water.
Any thoughts what might be going on with her?
