Hello,
A couple days ago my production blue's (not sure of sex yet) comb suddenly flopped over. I noticed a small pen head dark dot on his/her comb which can be seen in the photos below. But no other dots have arised since. She seems to be eating and drinking water normally. I'm in florida and the temp got above 100 degrees. I bought some electrolytes and put that in their water 2 days ago. I felt her chest but nothing seems hard or soft. I'm not familiar with what I believe is called their "crop", but I did my best to identify it. Does anyone have any ideas. I have 4 chickens total, 3 I know are hens its just the blue I'm unsure of. These are my first chickens, so I'm very concerned about my blue. They are approx. 11 weeks old. Any thoughts as to what may be happening to her and how I can treat are much appreciated. TIA
