i think something is wrong with quackers

[lovesduckies]

she's walking around squeeking louder than normal. she just kinda like up chucked water and she's completely defensive against me, more than normal. her feathers looked like ruffled too. idk what's up with her

Molting?

Maybe she has an upset stomach. You could put a splash of raw apple cider vinegar in her water.

Broody!

The girls get like that a few days or so before they start sitting. Then every time she gets off the nest for a break she will be like that.

She will want a bath and some snacks and be in a horrid mood fm now on. till a few weeks after hatch.

My chickens act weird like that when they are broody--- You said she has a nest, right? Has she been staying in the nest a lot?

i was more concerned about the water up chuck. yeah she's been on her nest more than normal. i think i am going to put a sheet in the desk drawr for more privacy

Mine have upchucked water on occassion also. I wouldn't worry too much about that UNLESS it becomes a regular thing. She may have just drunk a bunch and then being "upset" the water backed up a bit.
