Hey everyone! I didn’t know weather to post this in emergency and diseases and cures or here. I have a 3yr and 5 month old Easter Egger, who just seems less like herself. Let me try to put her usual personality into words
Very dominant
The leader
Sleeps alone on purpose
Loves and usually runs to the gate to see me before the others or with them.
Sweet yet has her own boundaries of space.
Busy and energetic
Very social and an all around fun hen.
Lately however, she just seems a tad bit off in her personality. She’s way less dominant allows two other hens to sleep with her. Seems to really enjoying preening and resting between 4-6pm that’s when I usually come out for the 2nd time to see what there up to.
She'll flap her wings every once and a while, she’ll eat mealworms and breakfast (my mom lets them out in the morning, so that’s what I’ve been told). But she just seems off for being the leader hen. Ya know? Anyways I’ve checked her poop, sprayed her for lice, even though I see nothing on her vent. Her crop feels like she has Little Rock in it at night, and tomorrow I’ll be waking up early to see what is feels like then. I don’t know exactly when she laid her last egg because I have 3 blue layers, but I believe it was around 2—2.5 weeks ago.
Anyways maybe it’s the weather or her age, I just don’t know.
Any kind advice is welcome and appreciated thank you!
