After two months of malting, my hen finally laid one egg, I was very happy that she started laying again. Then she stopped laying again for about two weeks now. I'm very concerned because her crown looks weired to me. It seems shrinking and pale, not like the other hen has red and fuller crown. The crown isn't very soft either. She's eating well, seems doing fine other wise. Can anyone tell me what's wrong with her? is she sick or just stressed? Thanks.

I like everything about it except how it looks right now. I know it lays decently. It is a great part of my great waterfowl flock.
