I have a 25 week old Silver Wyandotte hen that is making an awful, non-stop noise tonight. Sounds just like a cat yowling, only softer. It is constant and almost sounds like she is crying. I am worried she is in pain. I do not know if she has started laying yet-she is in with 35 others and I dont know which ones are giving us the 7-8 eggs a day so far. She is walking normal, eating and drinking, not squatting or acting like she has an egg stuck or anything. When you pick her up and stroke her, she quiets down some, not completely. Been going on for about 30 minutes or so (well, that was when I went out to do chores and noticed it, she may have been doing it all afternoon for all I know.) Any ideas?
