Her crop was full yesterday morning, then empty this morning when I found her. I just felt her now, and her crop is full, so that should mean that she ate the layer pellets I put in her crate for her.
No wheezing, gurgling, rattling or anything like that. Breathing is nice and quiet. Eyes look normal. Not seeing any eye/nose discharge. Back end looks clean.
As for feeling for an egg...I didn’t feel one. The thing is, I have no clue if she lays or not! She and her Sister, both from
TSC, were sold as EE pullets. Her sister has no beard, no muff, a single comb, and lays brown eggs. Even though this hen has a pea comb, a beard, and muffs, I’m not sure if she lays/will lay brown or blue eggs. I haven’t seen any blue eggs, so my guess is that she doesn’t lay yet, or maybe she hides them? Anyways..I didn’t feel any egg.
I’ve looked for injury, mites, and lice, and haven’t seen feather damage, egg clusters, blood, wounds, etc.
I’ll go feel for fluid, and look for canker or lesions.
