My chicken is acting strange

[Mrfarmer707]

My chicken won't eat or drink much. She stands tall and often wriggles her neck. She has a bigger breast than most of my chickens. From what I've seen she doesn't lay eggs (just a suspicion). What is it and what could I do to heal her?

Hi and welcome to byc. She may have an impacted or sour crop. I’d suggest typing both in the search function and reading about both. You should know if it’s sour crop if her breath smells, well... erm - sour

She is half a year old. My thirty chickens are in a well habitat so I don't know the problem.

Sorry your girl isn't doing well. Here's a link to a good article in the Learning Center that will give you some idea of what to check for a crop problem:
Impacted, Slow and Sour Crops - Prevention and Treatments

If you think it may be something other than that, you can post over on the ER thread (give as much information as possible as well as a photo):
Emergencies / Diseases / Injuries and Cures

Best of luck to you!

As everyone has said, there could be a number of reasons your girl is having troubles. The best thing you can do is give as many details as possible - what is her poop consistency; how does she carry herself when she walks (hunchy, limping, neck low, wings drooped, etc.); have you given her a thorough once over to check for lice, mites, skin lesions, etc; is her crop full at night, then empty in the morning; have you wormed her; or any other possible details you can think of (with pictures) might help us to help you figure her out.
Posting all of this in the thread @N F C mentioned will really help!
I am so sorry she is not well!

Thank you, is there any remedy for a full crop?
