My chicken is REALLY poorly!!!!!

[Amberr xx]

Ive had both of my chickens since they were an hour old for my birthday so i no what their upbringing has been like and if theyve had trouble or if something has scared them and genral things like that. their free range and i even let them walk about the house sometimes their 1 year and 1 month old. ive noticed that for the past few days one of them has been staying in her hut and wont come out, she makes funny noises like dinosaur noises and i dont understand. at first i thought she was just broody but then realised that she seems to be straning!! we instantly thought she was egg bound. i went on the internet and found out its best to put them in the bath massage them and let them relax....she then did a really BIG poo!!

it was late at night so we put her back to bed. the next day she was doing the same thing so i decided that when night came i would keep her in my room. in the day we picked her up and put her outside....she was fine!!!! so i said that i wouldnt keep her in my room. later in the day she went back into the hut.

i noticed that today shes loosing feathers around her belly!!! i seriously dont no whats wrong with her!!!!

IF YOU NO ANYTHING PLEASE HELP ME THEIR

MY BABIES AND IM SO WORRIED ABOUT THEM!!!

Sounds like you've got yourself a broody hen. The strange growling, dinosaur noises; the plucking of chest feathers; the desire to stay on her nest; the restraining her bodily functions to just a few times/day.....broody behavior!
