    Eggbound or Internal Laying?

    Well, Pretty Hen is laying an egg every other day or so now. I have been cooking them up for her as I'm still not sure what is wrong with her and don’t want to feed her eggs to humans. She’s still got an appetite and seems content-ish but definitely not quite right still.

    Eggbound or Internal Laying?

    I would say so ... other than the way she is holding herself, and her subdued behaviour, she looks really quite healthy. She's still got an appetite. I tried feeling around her abdomen area and it doesn't strike me as bloated or swollen. So I'm still not sure what's wrong. I'll update if...

    Thank you for your reply. A bit of an update ... she ended up laying an egg late yesterday. Today her poop was not runny. She is still holding her tail down but it seems like she ate a bit more (I will try the scrambled egg next). Is it possible for her to keep laying eggs even with one already...

    Eggbound or Internal Laying?

    I registered for an account here, finally, to ask this question. I have a Brahma hen who is nearly 1 year old. I haven't weighed her but I believe she is a normal weight. For the last few days, maybe a week, she has been holding her tail down and acting subdued. She's eating a little but I...
