8yr old hen hovering around water dishes

[happyhencamper]

She is molting maybe a hard molt?

Sour crop?

She is also puffed up. Staying alone by the water dish and stopping others from drinking. I have several dishes and waterers.

Anyone else ever had a hen that did this by the water.

I guess I should separate her. This just started yesterday so second day.

Is she broody? Is she laying? Have you checked her crop and for egg binding?
