Sorry if this has already been discussed.
I have a hen with chicks, and she has started laying eggs again.
She was attacked by a dog a couple/few days ago - shes fine, treated for shock, might be concerned about feather loss if it was winter, but honestly she's doing great. The day after she was attacked, she started laying eggs again. Shes laid 2 so far and shes game/orpington so not a huge layer anyway. She hasn't abandoned the babies or anything.
Do you think it's a weird trauma response or a fluke? She is also my only hen with spurs, if that's relevant.
I know this isnt important. I'm just curious.
(They're not biologically hers)
