Weird hen behavior?

Video upload has to be done through YouTube or Vimeo.
If it's more of a stretching/yawning move I would think gape worm or even just crop adjustment.
Or maybe she likes the music.

Ok, i give. No video.
I'll send updates in the days ahead on ms. Clara's progress or decline.
Tested negative for gape worm . Thanks for the feedback everyone! It's atleast given me ideas to research!

Tested negative for gape worm

That's good, IIRC it's pretty rare.
How did you have her tested?

Where in this world are you located?
Climate is almost always a factor.
Please add your general geographical location to your profile.
It's easy to do, then it's always there!

In central Illinois,
Tested her with a q tip.
I have her quarantined for now. Just trying to not need a vet.

Tested her with a q tip.

How does that work...without a vet?

 

[Feathers Brady]

Well aart. I used a Qtip down into her throat with help opening her beak. Also using a bright headlamp I could find no red worms from the swab. She's enjoying apple cider vinegar water. I think she's going to be fine. Her crop is less squishy. Mayb this has been the prob all along since I just found out the hens never foraged in grass much until I got them.

Soo, my Ms. Clara I've been monitoring decided to get worse after a day back in with the other five. So she's confined getting massages of her crop and gagging almost immideately afterwards. Some gurgling but nothing coming up up.?? This is my first rodeo with sour crop. She's had zero food and only water for 12 hrs. I've read about red wine treatment, and I'm curious for more feedback on what else I should be doing. Thanks!
