She's three years old and has laid dozens of eggs over the last three years, however, over the last month or so it seems to be taking a toll on her to lay. Sometimes she's very tired and quiet until she lays and other times she's very tired and quiet after she lays. All of her eggs have been normal until recently when she laid a robin sized egg.
Yesterday's egg was normal but now she appears to be somewhat lame. She's very alert and clear eyed and still has a good appetite but she cannot walk on both legs...she clearly has a problem on her left side. Her right side is strong and she is able to scoot around but with difficulty...any ideas? She typically eats fresh greens, scratch and some layer feed supplemented with crickets, beetles, occasional mud minnows, etc. I'm afraid somehow I haven't really met her nutritional needs...could she need niacin? I'm soooo worried and look forward to any and all feedback.
