    Lethargic chicken after two days of ice storm and strong winds

    Case is solved! (I hope) I checked on her and she had layed a shelless egg. She was eating and perky again! She had the remains of the soft eggshell coming out so I pulled it out. She seems fine now. I’m thinking it was stress.
