The past 2 days my hen Crystal has been dozing during the day, standing up. Today she's not eating or scratching around. Is just standing in the corner of the run. Her eyes look different but I cant tell why. She hasn't laid for past 2 days either. She feels normal...
Should I take her to the vet?
Do vets deal with chickens?
The other 9 hens are fine.

Thanks.
 
This actually happened to one of my hens, she didn’t eat for about 3 days and you could walk right next to her and she didn’t even notice you. Eventually she died. But it probably isn’t the same thing.
 
Yeah. Dignity goes out the window when you own animals. Sometimes the egg will get stuck ( bound) before it exits. Some sometimes you can feel a hard lump from the outside ( her rear, where the egg comes out) sometimes you you actually have to go in there a little to feel it. More rubber gloves. But it could be cause of not laying or feeling well but could be something totally different but good to know cause the egg will Ned to come out
