Hey all!
I have a Cream Legbar chicken that is 7.5 months old and lays beautiful blue eggs. She usually lays an egg every other day or every two days. It’s now been about 6-8 days since she last laid. She is my most skittish of the flock, so not the easiest to get, but she generally seems to be behaving fine. She has been known to secretly lay eggs in random secluded spots, but I have scoured the property and can’t find them (they’re backyard chickens, so there are only so many places she could go). Could she be egg bound? I had assumed she’d act off if she were, but I started my chicken journey last fall, so there’s a lot that’s still new to me. I live in NM, so it’s still pretty warm here, I wouldn’t expect a slow down yet. Any perspectives from those of you more experienced chicken owners are appreciated. Thank you!
