Hen Won't Leave House

[nvmo]

I have a 7 month old hen who was laying eggs everyday, a week ago she started refusing to come out of the house, quit laying eggs and makes a growling noise and puffs up her feathers when I try to get her to come out. Her legs look pale, but other than that I can't see anything else wrong. Anyone have an idea what is wrong?

She is broody im guessing

Yep, sounds like a broody hen. Is there anywhere in her house that she could be hiding a clutch of eggs?

Just went and looked again, no eggs to be found...

Lazy?





Sorry if I offend, but I am the husband. I'm babysitting a buff with a bad eye. Just roaming around looking for things that could fix the chicken.
