1) Behavior- acts normal
2) Just noticed today when she was running around the yard.
3) No other chickens have this.
4) Has huge 5-6 inch x 5-6 inch fluid filled sack where craw is.
5) She has been eating: whatever she finds; laying laying pellets; corn/seeds as a treat.
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]6) haven't treated her yet but definitely want to since she is a green egg layer.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]7) can post picture as needed but is basically a huge fluid filled tumor in front of her throat.[/FONT]
8) housing bedding: shaved pine, wood, dirt, hay
9) almost looks like if I put a pin to it like a water balloon, it would open up. Yuck. so won't do that. but am not sure if this is a common thing with chickens with an easy fix or if she needs antibiotics and vet.
