My little Silkie lays between 3 and 4 eggs a wk... laid one today so she's not egg bound. And I collect them every day. It's been in the 90's everyday, and in the past four weeks I have added four chicks thkat are almost her size now. Sometimes she just stops pecking around for food and it almost seems like she's going to sleep on her feet. Her head droops but she still standing. Like a trance. Is this broody behavior? Bowel movements are good she eats and drinks, but not with the Vigor she used to. Should I be concerned? Is it too hot for her? I'm a newbie. She was my first chicken.
