Odd Duck Behavior

[Hickory_Hills]

I have a hen, who has been keeping her head and neck down; quacking a lot more than usual, and sitting lower to the ground. She will, also hold her mouth open for several seconds. She’s eating and pooping. She wash her tail, a LOT. She isn’t stumbling. I’m not sure what’s going on.

Of course! My friend used to have a duck and she was in the same situation. Glad to help!
