I'm not sure if this is an issue yet but the behavior was so odd it had me worried.
Basically tonight at around 10:30pm I went out to feed our horses so I stopped by the coop like normal to count chickens and noticed one was "missing". I checked the coop and found her sitting in a nesting box presumably laying an egg. I figured okay weird I will check on her later and see if she's okay. I also double checked with the family and an hour ago she had been up on the shelf with everyone around sunset. An hour or two after seeing her in the nesting box I came by again and checked and saw she was no longer in the nesting box and was making her way up to the shelf where everyone typically sleeps. So I went in to grab her egg and didn't find one. I'm a bit concerned that she may be having trouble laying an egg. I'm not really sure what to do if she is having trouble with that. I'm hoping this is me overreacting and that she's completely fine but I worry and this has been weird. I'm hoping that maybe since today was an oddly hot day and everyone's egg production was a bit off/delayed that maybe that's the issue and she'll be fine tomorrow.
