    Mass found in nesting box?

    Would a respiratory issue look like panting? I have one, the disheveled one I mentioned that is panting, sometimes, like when it’s hot. It isn’t hot enough for that, and none of the others are doing it. The whole flock, except for one, went to roost early tonight which seems strange.

    Hen Tail Tucked?

    This girl is about 2 years old and I noticed she has her tail tucked for the last 3 days. We felt her belly, rear, and vent. Everything seems ok.

    Hen standing/acting strangely

    We found this when we examined her. It looks like the inside membrane from an egg. We did not feel anything when we checked inside her vent and her behind did not have any masses. We feed feather fixer and they have oyster shell available at all times. They free range a couple hours each...

    Hen standing/acting strangely

    I am going to examine her tonight, but does her stance indicate anything? She has some fecal caking and is standing still a lot and staying away from the others. She didn’t come out to free range very much. Her eyes look kind of tired. She is a year old. I can’t say the last time she laid an egg.
