Very weird neck movements - what do I do for her

[Eggcessive]

I don’t see a video yet. It sounds like she is adjusting her crop. Is her crop full and hard, soft and puffy, or empty and flat? She is sitting on her hocks. Is she having problems walking, walking with legs far apart, preferring to sit, and can she get up from her hocks? Does she lay eggs? Can you insert a clean finger into her vent to feel for an egg?

Her crop is very squishy.

She could be experiencing a crop issue but is she laying at all?

Strange. I'll try again with the video.
Her crop is very squishy. When picked up she spits out some water/liquid.
She's not layed any eggs yet. Maybe 6ish months old.

If you think she may be egg bound, give some human calcium citrate with vitamin d 600 mg or Tums. If she cannot get off her hocks, B complex tablet 1/2 tablet daily given orally might help. Sometimes a stuck egg may cause leg issues.

I just tried the video a different way. She's not ever laid an egg. Her crop is super squishy.

Does her breath smell sour or bad? That is a big crop. Maybe it is sour crop, or pendulous crop. Has it been large awhile? Check it in early morning to see if it goes down or empties? She does need fluids, and a little egg or wet feed offered. Does she get grit?

She should be laying eggs at her age. Are her poops normal? Pictures are welcome. Also check her lower belly between the legs to see if it is enlarged, or full of fluid.

Videos must be uploaded to YouTube Vimeo or some similar platform with a post here to see.

I just noticed today. We do feed wet feed, fermented. I can make her an egg though. She does get grit. And she free ranges all day. Checking her belly now. Here's the YouTube link..thanks for that heads up, I didn't know.
