I have a hen, about 1.5 years old, until now she has been quite fiesty and strong. I noticed a change in her behavior yesterday. She is very quiet, doesn't move around alot and looks like she feels horrible. This seemed to come on almost overnight I noticed also she when she went to the hen house to lay her egg she never did. She has not layed today either and is not eating, just sleeping or finding a corner to stand in. I don't know what to do for her....I don't have a clue as to where to start to diagnose this. Could she be egg bound and would that cause weakness, lack of apetite? I have 2 other hens and noticed that there have been a couple of eggs layed without shells, but have not been able to determine which hen it is comeing from. ( Maybe it is her ) I don't think she is going to make it too much longer if this continues. Help Betsy if you can.
