Hi everyone! I have 4 hens and one of them recently has been sitting in her nesting box for a few days and won't come out of the coop without me encouraging her to do so. I'm gone throughout the day so I'm unaware if she is eating and pooing but I think she's staying on the nesting box the majority of the time. If there are other eggs in the coop; I quickly remove them. I even put a cold water bottle in a few of the boxes. Her feathers get ruffled when I try to move her and she squaks a bit. I'm new to having chickens and would really appreciate your help. Someone said to check if she is egg bound and I'm not sure how to do this. I want to make sure she is okay and I of course want her to lay eggs again too. Will she be able to lay eggs again? Thanks.
