The sternum as is under the head and around the breast?

If she's egg bound, you should feel it in the vent, near the rear end. There are lits of good threads here on egg bound hens.

I'd be surprised if she was egg bount if she hasn't laid anything yet. She's probably just a late layer. She might have a hidey hole, too, if she's out.

If you can feel her keel bone sharply, you may think about worming her. Weight and body type vary from breed to breed, but if she's really underweight compared to others of the same age and breed, I would explore that. Good luck!

no the tip of the sternum underneath near the rear. noone knows what breed she is. its very hard to determine. she was supposed to be an ameracauna but.....shes not. and shes not an EE either. at least none ive seen. none of my hens are laying yet. so i am beginning to get concerned because they are all around 8 months old now. she has a different build than the rest and very thick feathering.

Today was the most horrible day. this morning I woke to find my Aunt had passed away we are struggling so hard to deal with this sudden tragic loss. we are falling on uncertain times. I am trying so hard to focus on the immeadiate things that are happening now, but my mind wonders to the future, and I know without her additional income to our family that My mother and I are gonna be facing a rough finacial future. I am trying not to think about it as it is adding more heartbreak and pain, but I feel I will be losing many of my precious feathered pets in the coming month as we struggle to make ends meet. I am struggling so hard to make sense of this, it was so horrifying to find her, and so unexpected. There are no words to describe this pain, I feel like it is horrible nightmare and beg to wake up soon .

I am so sorry for venting such sorrow, thank you for listening.
