Thank you for the advice. She was the last of my 6 hens to start laying by several weeks so she may have had issues from the start. She also squawked pretty loudly when she would lay as well. Wish I could have been there to help in some way.
Is this a common problem issue? I am simply assuming that it was an egg issue due to the fact that I found her in a nesting box. there was no egg below her.
My favorite hen (Goldie Haan) a Buff Astralorp was fine at 1:00 in the afternoon scratching in the run but when I checked on the girls at 8:00PM they were all still in the run not in the coop like normal. I went out to see why they were still outside and noticed that Goldie was not with them...
Thanks everyone for all the information it is very helpfull. total newby but we really love our flock already. here is a picture of our nearly complete coop. It is all finished now but have not taken a picture yet. I'll have questions later but time is tight.
Well I guess there will not be...
