Potential Threat

Alright, thanks for the feedback guys. Looks to me like a trip to the vet might be in my chook's favor.

That may well be the problem. Hens of laying age need layer feed as their main ration, and calcium for hard shells. Most calcium is oyster shell, fed from a separate dish. It's not the same thing as grit, which is to aid digestion. Scratch is only for a treat, no more than 10% of the diet.

Many pet stores do not carry livestock feed, so you might do better to look for a livestock feed store in the area. And it's likely to be less expensive!

Oh yeah,

I wouldn't rush to the vet just yet. I think a change in diet will solve the problem.
