My Ameracauna just started laying about a month ago. She has been laying green eggs for us pretty much every other day. She hasn't laid an egg in 5 days, which wouldn't be alarming, but on 3 of those days, she sat in the nest box, but didn't lay. She seems to be eating and doing pretty much all other chicken things. Should I be worried? Should I treat her in any way?
Any advice would be welcome, this is my first year with chickens.
 
Hi, I think an egg bound chicken would look like they're sick , usually all fluffed up, walking funny. My EE's go thru spurts of laying eggs. Does she growl or do her neck feathers stand up when you get near her? Oddly, she might be broody then.
