Our approx 1.5-2yr old hen has been hiding in the nesting corner of the coop for about a week now. She sleeps there, lays there, spends the day there. We rarely see her out and she used to sleep on-top of the coop roof until this started. She's always been very vocal and bossy. I've checked her several times to see if she's egg bound, nope. They are all currently moulting so we maybe get 1 egg every few days from our 6 hens and lately have been getting tiny eggs.
This am she came out after puffing up at me and had a massive normal consistency but yellow urate and green stooled poop. I also noticed out of the coop how pale she is next to the other girls. Any ideas? She kind of wanders around "fake eating" then goes back in the nest. I thought maybe broody until I saw the stool this am.
They eat Jones' feedmill organic layer ration and I add crushed oyster to their run/paddock area.
Thanks! No idea of her breed, we took her in from someone else.
