I have a buff cochin who recently when I have gone to check on her at night has been doing some odd movements with her neck.Last night I found a thread that made me feel like she may be 'star gazing?'
-She is a year and a half, the only issues I have ever had with her is a slight respiratory issue where she was sneezing and had some nasal discharge. She still eats regulary, literally just got done laying me an eggs, runs around with the other girls ect
-I only started noticing this about a week ago that she is doing the neck movements, sometimes she will also scratch her eyes/head.
-She has clear eyes, no nasal discharge unless sneezing, she is pooping normal. It seems like the feathers around her comb are slightly sheding possible from her rubbing them against her body while doing the odd neck movements.
I have attached two photos I just took of her. Does this look like star gazing? I can take her to our local vet but from threads that I have read if it appears to be star gazing I will just provide her with the proper medicine.
The heat seems to be getting to her more as of lately as well, but she is a big bird and is covered in head to toe literally in her feathers!
Any imput would be really appreciated. None of my other girls are showing the same symptoms
