Eye problem on Ameraucana hen (respiratory issue actually)

[Eggcessive]

There can be an adjustment in pecking order whenever one has had a bout of illness. Have any of your hens started molting this year yet? What are ages? Mine are all in various stages of molting, and they have taken a break from laying eggs while they regrow feathers. Here are a list of signs you may see with MG:

No molting.

They are all between 8 and 10 months.

Well, hopefully they will start laying again soon. I don’t think the antibiotics have anything to do with not laying eggs. Some chickens can be on death’s door from injuries or illness, and will continue to lay eggs.

The only hen NOT laying is the one that was sick. The other 3 are steady-eddies when it comes to eggs. The previously sick hen however is at issue....
