The Chicken Fan
Chirping
I have a Barred Rock that is 9 months old. I found her today in the nesting box shivering. She is molting and it is in the low 50s. It is rainy and windy. I have had weather like this before but have never seen her shake like this. She did have sour crop, a virus, and was egg bound and survived it all. Her crop though has never gone back to normal. I'm afraid she may have eaten something that is just stuck in her crop. It's always puffy but she eats and drinks fine. Now that she has begun molting, I've noticed she isn't as full of energy as she used to be. She lays down a lot because her crop weighs a ton. But the shivering is definitely new to me. What can I do to help her?
