Skittish Hen

[Dobzenski]

One of my hens have become overly skittish. She is 9 months old. Any ideas? New chicken mom here. Thanks!

Ned more details @Dobzenski .
Is this bird laying?
In what scenario(s) is she skittish?
What other chickens do you have?

No she stopped laying 2 weeks ago. When they are let out to forge she wants to be covered. She’s an Americana blue egg layer. Pic of my breeds. I have 7. she and one other are Americana. Thanks for your help. She is eating and drinking. No bullying that has been noticed.

Did this behavior just start?
Maybe he detects a predator...or the newly bared tree branches are spooking her?
