Panting in Nesting Box

[LilHitzel]

Why is she panting and fidgeting? Is that normal? It’s not hot, we’re located in Jersey.

Has she laid before? How old is she? Does she have egg issues - like soft-shelled eggs or egg bound?

What's the temp? Sometimes mine are trying to lay and pant because it's a lot of work for the hen.

She’s about a year. Laid fine in the past. As of typing this, she just laid the egg and it seemed perfectly fine. She’s now gracing me with her egg song…lol. Sorry for the false alarm.

This is my first ever flock…so every little thing that seems off makes me overreact and panic-post
