Hi, I have a 1 year old RIR hen. Let her out to free range tonight and she walked 10 feet and then just stood and watched the others. No scratching or trying to catch bugs. Would eat sunflower seeds and worms, but not very eager.
Vent: constantly moving
Crop: feels large and soft. Not smelly when massaged. Possibly just because she's not really interested in food?
Poop: Little runny. No visible worms.
Eggs: Laid today and 4/5 days previous.
Currently locked up overnight without food. I will check that her crop is empty in the morning.
Any ideas? I'd think egg bound because of the constantly moving vent, but she laid today. Very strange. Just stands in a normal position and watches the others.
What else should I look for tomorrow?
Thanks!
