My 2.5 old BCM named Dot passed away Wednesday night. She stopped laying eggs in May of last year. I took her to the vet in October and they said she was just having a hard molt but no parasites or anything found in fecal test. She did molt and never recovered, she became anemic and lethargic and died after I brought her in out of the cold.
Anyway, I haven't gotten an egg from her best friend (Loki) since Dot was separated from her. Is this normal? I plan to take Loki in to the vet if she still hasn't laid by Monday. They roosted together every night and we're incubated/hatched together and with eachother ever since so I am wondering if I should be worried about disease or could this be depression/stress and if so is there anything I can do to help her? I took her some oatmeal this morning and she has a good appetite, no symptoms of illness her stomach feels normal to me not squishy or hard. Walking normal. Comb and waddle are nice and red.
