My hen is possesed!

[shastagoose]

This is a first.. I have a 7 month old hen that stopped laying 4 weeks ago. She refuses to let the others in the nests" 3", to lay. Tonight, as I was tucking the girls in for their "nite nite", She was hogging the nests, as usual. As I went to pick her up, gently of course, she stood up... and squatted down, and sucked up one of the eggs with her vent as fast as she could... What the...? I have NEVER seen this behavior before... Is she possesed? I think we might need an " EGGSORCISM" or something... any suggestions? If this doesn't stop, than it's fresh bbq soon.

She did what?

BTW, the proper word is vent. Please edit your post to be family friendly and child safe.

* THAT is one screwed-up hen!! She's got her egglaying equipment stuck in REVERSE!!!!!! ~

Are you sure she wasn't in the middle of laying you just scared her into reverse? I dunno, the whole sucking up eggs thing sound rather odd. xD Maybe she is possessed?

 

[shastagoose]

You got that right.. I am blown away.. If you saw the look on my face....

 

[shastagoose]

No.. she wasn't layin.. she lays brown eggs. She was sucking up one of green one's..
