Chirping
We have an EE hen that is about a year and a half old. A month or so ago we noticed what looked like a red ball on her abdomen. After looking closer, it looks like her crop. After watching her, it doesn’t look like she’s pulling feathers, but that it rubs a bit on the ground as she forages, causing the feathers to fall out. She adjust her crop a lot, with weird head movements.
She’s eating and drinking fine, she lays about 4 eggs a week, and we have grit and oyster shell available at all times. Everyone’s has been getting grower/starter food, since we have some pullets in the flock still. I use oregano oil in with their waterers.
Not really sure if this is something to worry about, or that needs attention.
Any thoughts on what it could be, and possible, non-intrusive remedies?
