I have this 1 1/2 yr old rhode island red hen whom back in October i believe had beem egg bound so i was able to help her pass the egg and she immediatly seemed happy and better. After she passed the first egg which wasnt an egg morr like a crushed deformed slimy shell she started laying clumps of crushed egg shells and sometimes just the yolk or the white and then she up and stopped that too. Skip forward to just reciently i noticed she started acting weird again i brushed it off as the weather putting her in a bad mood its been cold and we just had our first frost and a bit of snow. she just sits in the chicken yard and walks around like she has no purpose and its sad. When i get home today im going to bring her inside and feeds her scrambled eggs some electrolytes and see if it helps maybe sponge bathe her and examine her to make sure there are no cuts or bites ir anything that might be causing her to be like this. If anyone has any wuestions or ideas of what might work im all ears. Thank you in advance!
