Dumb question, here (I should know this):
My hen's right leg/hip was injured during mating. She cannot stand on it for any length of time. I have her separated and recovering (i hope), but suddenly she is acting really agitated and pecking really aggressively at the ground (carpet/towels). She just started this behavior today and she was hurt about 4 days ago. Could it be she is trying to lay an egg? Can she do it sitting down or lying on her side? What should I do to help?
Thanks!
