    EE hen lethargic, crop not emptying out UPDATE: Dead :(

    Yes, the others are just as healthy and sassy as ever, so at least it doesn't appear to be anything contagious. I think she might have had a blockage lower down or was eggbound, in which case there was really nothing that could be done. I couldn't quite bring myself to do an autopsy, so...

    I think my EE has an impacted crop, but it's not as large/hard as some I read about when studying up last night. Yesterday, I noticed that she was on the roost still when all the other girls had come out to the run for the morning. I assumed she was getting ready to lay an egg, so I went to...
