Hi
I was giving the pullets some afternoon free ranging time this afternoon, when, lo and behold, I spot something flapping its wings on the other side of me and my neighbour's fence. Just to make sure I'm not crazy, I go over there. I find my neighbour's rabbit, on the left side of her double compartment hutch, as usual. What I didn't expect to find were a breeding pair of squab pigeons in the right compartment, and what looked like a RIR bantam hen tied by a leg line to their trampoline! Anyways, the chicken looked healthy, other than the fact that her feathers were ruffled and she was snoring. Yes, snoring. She would sort of close her eyes, snore and occasionally open her beak and be "jerked awake" like some snoring people are. In case this is an infectious respiratory disease, I left my shoes outside my house to be disinfected later. What should I do? Should I worry, or could this be normal?
Thanks for reading my long-winded post
