hello all-
i need some advice. i have a hen, approximately one year old. she is an americana breed and has not begun to lay. we've noticed that she is slower than the rest in the brood. yesterday, i noticed that she was spending more time than usual apart from the group, laying down, eyes closed and sometimes breathing with her mouth open. i mentioned this to my husband and he said that he has noticed the same thing throughout the past few weeks. i was wondering if maybe this is a sign that she is egg bound? is there a remedy if she is? any advice would be much appreciated!!
