Today, all my hens were perfectly fine. Suddenly in the late afternoon, after the chicken's had their treat of spaghetti after a very long trip outside the coop, something weird happened to Betty, my youngest hen.

 

she began to walk around quietly clucking, then started swaying her neck around from right to left, then up and down

 

she occasionally groomed herself, and peck at small bits of food, and still ran around a little bit, but often stopped and continued the head and neck swaying. Im sure that she has something stuck in her throat or crop, and it's not been swallowed correctly.

 

anyone else seen this before? or has any other answers?

how weird I have never had that before. Could be her way of letting her food go down though

Sounds reasonable. Try cutting the spaghetti into smaller lengths?
