Is there something wrong with Stacy?

[backyardbirds394]

Stacy is a one year old white layer. When I came home today, I noticed she was breathing quickly and bobbing her tail. I didn’t get video of that, but she is still breathing more noticeably than the others at times. She also has watery poop. Could she be egg bound because of her breed or have a respiratory problem? She is otherwise normal. I would appreciate any responses.

Look at her vent and feel down around that area. You maybe able to feel an egg and their vent will pulse when they are trying to lay. Do they usually lay in their box when not laying? They look so cute one facing one way the other facing another.

Yes, that is their sleeping box. I will try to feel her vent if I can catch her soon. Thank you!

Thanks for your concern Miss Lydia. Stacy is doing fine today. 6 eggs for 6 ducks!

Awesome!! Thanks for updating!!

Even though she fine, she is doing the breathing thing again. Out of curiosity, is this normal?

It was what happened when I saw it the first time.
