This!! Sounds exactly like my situation it's crazy!! (I didn't include all this went first describing the situation because I just wanted to describe what her symptoms were and see what everyone else had to say or recommend but I feel like this is probably the situation I'm dealing with...
Yes she's been molting, but what's got me so worried is her penguin stance and the fact her vent/hole keeps contracting like she's getting ready to poop but nothing comes out yet her vent keeps contracting??! I'm at the house fixing her some scrambled eggs right now, the other 2 girls she is...
2-3 yr old easter egger, She's been acting off for a few days, not eating much, lethargic, was my top layer but has not laid now for several weeks/months? In that timeframe I've gave around of Valbazen (for worms), I've tried using Corrid, I've soaked her once in Epsom salt water in case egg...

I just discovered I've got that problem with a EE hen and I put her in jail tonight, small dog cage, but not sure what to do next. I'm hoping this will work and just curious on how many have you broken this way and generally how long do you have to seperate them. You said no creature comforts...
