It all started this morning, when the flock was eating breakfast. I noticed my little Selah acting as though she had gorged a bit too fast (intense, constant swallowing....you know the drill). Upon scooping her up to take a look, it became evident that her airway was being obstructed by impacted, wet food. Seeing her struggle to breathe (skin turning purple and everything), I swiped out as much debris as possible, even pulling a chunk out of her throat. This seemed to help initially, but then, thick saliva took over. Checked back only to find this:
Pretty sure I heard a small cough during picture session. I put her back out in the coop just now, and it appears she's managed to get most of it down. Any idea what's going on? Selah is my pride and joy.....I'd hate to lose her.
