Hen acting eratic and clumbsy

[dc73nova]

Well, when I went out to the coup this evening there were five eggs. I have five hens in the coup so my guess is that she laid today. She was acting better than yesterday. I didn't know if it was something obvious to others that have had a chicken act that way before. Maybe she's been getting wore out by the rooster.

She may be eggbound? Not good....

could she have gotten into some moldy food or eaten something while free ranging. I'm wondering if she ate something tainted but maybe not enough to kill her, just make her woosy. Chickens will eat the darndest things. If the rooster is too ambitious maybe he did harm her - he needs more hens or a vacation away from them- so they can recover.
