Pullet behavior

[Pool Lady]

I have a pullet born 1st week of March. Don't know what kind she is, but she has been behaving strangely. She isn't hanging with her fellow pullets. She sits in a corner of the coop. If I come near her she runs to a nesting box. She doesn't appear to be sick, although her craw seems empty. Any ideas?

how large??? she looks like a Cornish broiler.

She's not much smaller than the other hens.

hmm... maybe coming into lay?

I was thinking that could be it. Since I don;t know what kind she is, I thought it may be a little early at 12 or 13 weeks.

Welcome to BYC!
Yes, too early for onset of lay behavior.

My guess is that she's hiding..either because she'd being bullied or is ill.
Is she roosting with the other birds?
Check her crop at night when you lock up after dark.

More info is needed.....
-your flock size(numbers, ages, genders),

-your coop(size in feet by feet with pics),

-what and how exactly you are feeding,

....to offer clues to if there is a solvable problem.
