my hen's symptoms

[dreamdoc]

My chicken has something wrong. She is my biggest chicken and has always stayed on the edge of the flock. Over the past week or so she has stopped laying (she lays the smallest egg of the flock). She appears pigeon toed and is walking/waddling slowly. She's sitting alone alot up against things like walls. Her tail is tucked. She is eating alot and drinking. Her vent is fine and I can't feel any egg in her belly. Any ideas/suggestions? thanks for any input.

Sounds like internal laying, or other reproductive problems. How's she doing?

Could she have a broken egg inside her? Have her egg shells been thin?.
