One of my chooks has been sitting on the roost all day, it has never done this before. Does this mean there is something wrong? I have 3 Rhode Island Reds, I usually only get 2 eggs a day, but I don't know which one is not laying. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks;)
 
Sorry not much advice, is it eating, and getting enough fluid? And if you want to see whose laying eggs or who isn't put them in seprate pens, for a few day to a week that should shed alittle light on that question. Did you have a sudden change in weather?
 
Are we thinking egg bound... again I draw on parrot experience when I dont know if it is the same with chickens, do they get eggbound, am I barking up the wrong tree?
does your chicken have a bulge in her bum?
 
Yes Barg. Chickens can get eggbound just like parrots. Only thing is parrots seem to come through it better.
