    Speckled Sussex in trouble?

    Hello, Our 2 yr old Speckled Sussux has dialated pupils and is very inactive. Plus, she has not laid in 3 days. Egg bound? The other hens in the flock are all doing great. Last week we had 100 temps, and she was fine. This week temperature is back to normal. Ideas? Thanks for your time. - Mark
