Hi everyone,
I have a 5 year old EE hen that has been acting off for the last few days. I thought maybe she was just broody because she’s been staying right in the nesting boxes. I took her out of the nesting box tonight and she acted hesitant to move but then I threw some meal worms out and she ran outside and was eating away like normal. Then, she did this huge, weird poop. It almost looks like undigested food. I’ve never seen a chicken poop that much. Could she just be very broody and isn’t moving around and pooping as regularly? Sorry. This is weird. I know she’s old and I don’t want to extend her life if she’s suffering.
