I have researched and read the threads and past questions and I can't seem to figure out what is wrong with my Polish. 4.5 months old. Has been great. Started making egg laying noises when 2 of my other girls started laying (first eggs in a mixed flock of 18 all between 15-28 wks). We had 2 Silkie Roos that I saw mount her maybe twice and she didn't like it at all.
Yesterday she didn't come off the roost in the morning when we opened it and then when she did she kinda feel off of but landed right and waddled away. I noticed she was pretty swoled up so I brought her in and put her in a laying bucket in a dark quiet room. She mostly slept. Made sure she drank (had Gatorade on hand it was late) and she slept all night. This morning she is moving around more but still sleeping standing and not as puffy except her rump. It feels hard. Her tail feathers are also very sparce and looking like they are about to fall out.
She has never laid. Eatsstarter feed (mash with herbs and ACV and garlic) layer pellets and scratch as a scatter treat. I have raised her since she was 2 wks old, came from a local hatchery that 95% of my flock came from.
Can't think of any other helpful info. Oh she keeps baring down and pushing and did manage to get a huge poop out with lots of water with it.
Any advise? Thank you in advance
