I own one small hen that is under a year old and started laying a while ago. Until recently, she was a very active and lively bird, and would even wander onto the property of the neighbours a few times. However, after getting back from a short holiday elsewhere, I have found that she is acting unusually. Since I got back, she has never moved from the part of her coop that she lays eggs in, and this is concerning. I doubt that she is laying the entire time, because I have found that she only lays one egg per day so far. I have given her water through an eye-dropper twice, as I am worried about her becoming dehydrated, despite the fact that doing so is apparently dangerous to her. She does have a drinking station in her coop, but I highly doubt that she has drank from it since I got back.
Is there anything that I can do about this?
