hello everyone! Any advice is appreciated!
My 7-8 mo old blue Andalusian's behavior changed about a month ago.
First her mentation become very dull after laying. She would walk slowly, look spacey and very pale (comb & waddle). A couple of these episodes only lasted maybe 30 min to a couple hours. Then we noticed no eggs for 4+ days from her. Now her comb has shrunk (the weather is colder now), she avoids human contact if she can (which she was always wanting love or food) and still no eggs. Might also seem a little thinner even though she eats all the time.
She's also being bullied by the top ladies which she was a part of.
Any ideas?
Sorry don’t have a close up of her now since she’s hard to catch
*last pic is where her comb has shrunk*

Even tho young, she may be getting ready to molt, or just stop laying over winter.
As long as she's eating/drinking/pooping/moving around OK,
all the other normal chicken things, I'd not worry much.

She sure is a pretty one!
 
Chickens do a lot of 'weird'....they don't read the books.<shrugs>
There's wide range of 'normal'.
The first year of chickeneering is like getting a sip of water out of a fire hose.
