Hello All,
I have looked around the site, but still unsure..............I have a 6 month old Australorpe hen that has been odd the past 2 days. I keep finding her in the nesting box for long periods of time, while out in the yard she scratches a bit and walks around. Many time I find her in a "roosting" position on the ground. She is pecking at food/grass/lettuces and drinking water. I found yellow dried diahrrea and her hind end feathers. When I felt around her vent she did not feel swollen...........Egg bound? Please help this newbie........
