I just came in from the coop/pen. Lots going on. 1) I think Tilly is going broody, again. 2) We're in a warm spell. Water is dripping off the pen roof into a tiny corner of the pen. The girls are drinking too much water and now have diarrhea. I have blocked off that corner, now. 3) My Laney, who is 4. Is making a worrisome sound - continually. She does not seem distressed. Please take a listen and advise.
The girls are on Kalmbach non-gmo layer feed. They get BSFL as a treat. They were last wormed on August 24.

It sounds a bit like stridor, a sound that they make if they get a piece of feed stuck in the airway, and it usually goes away in a few hours. But she also could be vocalizing. Here in the thread below in post 1 is a video of a hen with stridor:

It does sound like that. Hopefully it will resolve on its own, then. Thank you ♡
