Egg bound?

[Smileybans]

We just put the saddle on her today. She’s 10 months old and has been laying for awhile. She just started walking with her tail down and has been going into the coop to sit. I’m going to give her a calcium citrate tablet. Should I look out for anything else or try to feel inside? She’s also panting but it’s 80 and humid here. She lays blue/ olive eggs and I got four eggs today.

I only have five EEs of laying age and one is raising chicks. Could the one raising chicks be laying already? Her chicks are 3 weeks old.

This behavior sounds just like my hen. Did you figure out what was going on?

I did not. She acted like this for a day and the next day was just sitting around. Then after that she was back to her old self.

Thanks for replying. Hope that happens for us too!
