    Hen in pain? Panting, won't move

    My hen hasn't been moving around very much for quite some time. A few weeks ago she started hanging out in the coop more, still getting out to eat and drink and hang with the roo.

    Found a Lash Egg. :(

    Found a small lash egg two days ago. I can't see any of my hens displaying and obvious symptoms, and I couldn't tell if anyone's abdomen was swollen or abnormal through touch. Not sure what to do! I can't tell who's laid it. This is the first lash egg I've gotten. I suspect it's one of my five...
