My poor production red has had problems ever since I got her in March. She laid great for the first month, pretty speckeled eggs that were tan on top and brown on the bottom with a white ring around the middle. So her eggs have been easy to spot. Then the shells started to get thin. 3 months ago or so she quit. One day she was laying down, not even walking around. I brought her in and treated her with ACV a few days, thinking it was sour crop and she seemed to get better, but no laying still. The last few days I saw her in the nest box, but never found any of her eggs. I just went to the coop and found this nasty thing in there.
I'm not sure how old she is, she was an adult when I got her and I was told between 1-2 years. So, is she an internal layer? She seems ok energy and appetite wise, acts pretty normal. Is she suffering? Is there anything I should do?
