Chirping
My 3-year-old black australorp typically lays an egg nearly every day (probably 2 out of 3 days) but the past few days has NOT, and just sits and sits in the nest box, barely even coming out to eat/drink. She is even sleeping in the nest box, not roosting on a perch! Very odd for her.
My husband picked her up to set her in front of the food & water, and we noticed her chest is all bald! This doesn't seem like molting. But we've only had our 2 rescue hens since last fall and are not experienced.
Is Millie sick? I am very worried. I've attached a photo of her now-bald chest. Is this a spring thing? Our other hen is not acting weird like this. Help!
