We live in Scottsdale AZ. Ruby has been a healthy nine month old road Island red laying 5 eggs a week for the last 2 months. Is fed aprox. 1/2 cup of scratch and 1 cup lay 2 to 3 times a day (doves and sparrows share with her) She gets oyster shell too. She loves corn on cob, lettus, yogurt, rice and leftovers. We do not feed her egg or chicken. This morning I went out back to find her standing in her small coop which is left open, next to her nesting box. She has full run of the back yard. Possible hazards are: amdro left under rocks a couple months ago, (only used a little), a raised garden that has turned into a cat litter box. She just within the last 3 months has gotten into really digging everywhere in the yard. Again shes not pooping and just stands. her poops were sometimes black or a brown/grayish but mostly normal. Comb seems not as read and a little clammy. she is drinking a little water. does anyone have any Idea what could be wrong? Thanks, Worried chicken owner
