In the Brooder
I noticed a few minutes ago that my EE hen is acting a bit odd. She turns four in two months. She is moving almost in slow motion and not showing much interest in foraging or scratching even though I just let them out of the run. She perked up when I gave them some mealworms, but soon reverted back to what she's doing now. I thought a minute ago that her clucks almost sounded gurgly, but I just picked her up and she sounded normal. My other two are acting normal, I did see one of them sneeze once yesterday but other than that they're all good. I don't know if she's eating or drinking, I just came outside. She hasn't laid in months, she's generally not the best layer. She's never gone broody. As I write this, she just laid down - not dramatically, just settled down like she's sitting on an egg.
This is my fault, I have two chicks inside and like an idiot forgot to wash my hands in between handling them once yesterday. I've seen the chicks sneeze a bit but they're very lively and are otherwise doing just fine.
