Personality change after starting to lay

[Jadecinadr96]

my female Indian runner started laying about a week ago - 1 egg everyday - sameness spot every day - she doesn’t mind that we take it, etc etc. however her personality is really different she’s quiet and not herself. Anything I can do? Is something maybe wrong?

I'm sure it has to do with maturity and nothing to be concerned about.

I am sure she is just hormonal and she will be back to her normal self. Mine did the same as they were adjusting to laying. They seemed a little bit more sleepy for a little bit but then were back to being the silly clowns they are. Are you providing some oyster shell on the side for her just in case she needs a little extra calcium?

I definitely noticed a personality change in most of my girls when they started laying. This is normal. Hormones have changed.

It’s always good if you can continue to keep an eye on her in case something else is going on.

Update: She was not eating ANYTHING and hardly moving. Took her to the vet, she has an infection in her body and a fever. They put her on antibiotics.

I’m sorry I hope the antibiotics make her well.

Oh no! I'm glad you sensed something was wrong and hopefully the antibiotics clear things up and she makes a full recovery!
