Help!!! What's Wrong With Her????????????

[littlecreekfarm]

My 18 month old sicilian buttercup hen is acting strange today, she seems weak and isn't acting right. She isn't sleeping in her normal spot and her feathers seem ruffled up and she is weak

She has a bald spot on her back from where she has been pecked on. She tried to lay an egg today but I never found one from her

I'm worried........any suggestions?

thanks

She might be egg bound...have you checked for that.

No I haven't.....how exactly do I know if she's egg bound and what do I do? I've had a hen with a soft-shell(that was broken) egg stuck in her sooo i really don't wanna go through that again but i will do whatever i can for my chickens

she is now sleeping where she usually does....it's been pretty cold where i am lately...areound 50-60 degrees farenheit, and very windy, do you think maybe she's just beat up from the wind?

Try giving her a bath in warm water. That helps if she's egg bound.
