So big red is 22 weeks, started laying with the other girls over the past 10 days. Yesterday was 27 degrees Celsius and she was laying on the floor of the coop kind of crooked and not looking good. We brought her in her legs seemed useless, so we thought egg bound. We Epsom salt soaked her and then put her in a dog crate with food and water. I put some oatmeal and calcium in with her feed and low and behold in the morning she looked a bit better but she was sitting on her water dish. Sometime between 10:45am and 12:20 pm she layed an egg and was sitting on it. No crazy broody noises.
I put acv in her water in case she had sour crop.
She seems to be eating and drinking.
But she won't stand, she also has her feathers fluffed and her mouth is open more.
She's a brown layer ISA/Miller.
Regular poops, egg looked fine. She's not making the noises but is she possibly just broody? Or should I keep her separate in case it's something else?
