I have a bantam hen that I bought a few months ago at a farm auction. She has been in the coop with 3 other bantam hens and 1 rooster since I got her. This morning I went out to feed her and she was balled up in the corner not moving. I picked her up and brought her in the house and she laid in my lap with her eyes shut and barely moved. I can't find any signs of her being egg bound or any cuts, etc. I have her in the house in a little kennel with food and water for now but I don't know what to do. Anyone have any ideas what could be wrong? I believe she is about 9 months old or so. She has been laying for about 4 months also. Thanks.

Oh yeah, that's her in the center of my display pic.

I checked her vent and her abdomen but didn't feel anything. She is up walking around and looks normal now that I have her inside. I noticed the others were picking on her and chasing her earlier this morning so I dont know if that was the problem or not. They have all been together for a long time so I don't know whats wrong. Her poop looks normal but she isn't eating or drinking yet.
