So I've had some issues with my chickens recently. It's been a rough weekend. You can see the backstory here. https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...ted-with-pictures-help.1228108/#post-19701748
Anyway now I've seen several of them doing a weird neck thing when they eat.

But surely they can't all have an impacted crop right? I have no clue what's going on or if I'm doing the right thing for them.
On top of all that, one hen got her head stuck in the fence. Tore part of her comb. I separated her and put some petroleum jelly on it after I squirted water on it. Is there anything else I should do? There's also a thunderstorm coming in so im not sure if I should bring her inside since the separate pen is flimsier. But would that stress her out too much? I'm afraid that with her being sick and stressed will kill her. Help!!!
