help! My 24w RIR is acting lethargic. Her eyes are clear, no nasal discharge, mouth appears moist inside, no lodged egg on digital exam. She isn’t with the other 3 hens, but is hiding. I’m providing food/water next to her. Advice please?
 
if she has any swelling an episom salt bath can deal with that and help her relax also oregano is what I give to my hens in the form of tea when they are not feeling good
 
Any new birds brought in recently?
When was the last time she laid an egg?
Feel her belly area...how does it feel?
What exactly do you feed her?
 
I did a digital exam, no bound egg. She is free range with organic layer, oyster shell and egg she added. Her last egg 2 days ago, shell less. She just started laying 1-1/2 wks ago, has had 2 shelled eggs, 2 shell-less and one very thin shell.

She may still be working the kinks out of her egg laying parts so to speak, since she is a new layer.

What brand name is your feed?
Do you feed any treats?
What does her poop look like?(picture if possible)
