Barred rock not laying... sick?

[Laylahege]

I have 6 chickens, 3 bantam eggers and 3 barred rocks. They will be 1 on November 1st. They all started laying in the spring and have continued laying prolifically... except for one. One of my barred rocks, a couple weeks ago, just stopped laying. She's not broody. She has access to egg shell and oyster shell, layer pellets and free ranges all day. I've given electrolytes a couple times weekly. I'm in GA and it's HOT! They've had DE recently as well.
She acts normal, eats and hangs with the flock. The only difference is her comb is floppy and the other barred rock girls are nice a perky.
I'm a little concerned. I thought it was the heat, but the other girls are fine. Any advice?

Is her abdomen bloated at all?
Could she be molting?

She doesn't seem swollen anywhere, at least not enough for me to notice holding her. I assumed she would start looking real crazy if she was molting. These are my first chickens so I've never been though the molting stage. I haven't seen any more feathers laying around either. She DID have some funny poop a few weeks ago... runny and cream colored but it resolved itself quickly.

The abdomen is below the vent in between the legs, see if its bloated, also compare it to another chickens abdomen and see if there's a difference. I'm asking this because she could have ascites, which is usually caused by a reproductive disorder which would cause her to stop laying.

She looks nice and healthy, maybe she's just taking a break from laying.
Check your flock over for lice or mites.

Thank you. She's already roosting. I'll check her out first thing in the morning.

The best time to check them out is while they are roosting, imo. She will be more docile and easy to handle.

She looks good to me. The heat may be getting to her. Temp extremes can upset laying.

Check her abdomen, as suggested, and look for external parasites. Check her crop first thing in the morning before she has access to feed. Her crop should be empty. Keep an eye on her poop. It might be runny because if the heat, though.

I'd also look in her feathers to see if any new ones are coming in. She could be having a quiet molt.

Let us know what, if anything, you discover.

Look her over for pin feathers starting at the head and neck.
She may be preparing to molt.
