Hey all-
I'll start by saying that I feel as though I've done my initial due diligence, (searching the forum, google, blogs,etc.). It seems a lot like diagnosing myself with WebMD. So sorry if this post seems like it has been done before.
I have a hiccuping or sneezing or man I hope it is not gape worm... She is new to the flock I'm guessing a year and 1/2 or so old. Poses the GWorm symptom of jerking her neck and 'hiccuping'. I swabbed her throat with the Q-tip and no pink, gave her an eyedropper of olive oil to see if it would soften some impaction or obstruction, alas - here she is (video):
I think it's turrets but there I go self-diagnosing again. Thanks in advance, this forum and community have been an enormous help on our little adventure in suburban chickens.
