Someone please help! My pekin hen is free range during the day and pinned at night. She is exactly a year old this month and laying one egg every morning. This morning she seemed fine. I went back out around 4pm and she was laying very still with her legs straight out behind her. I thought, maybe she was just hot. She was alone in her pin while everyone else was out foraging. Very unusual for her to go back in the pin alone. They always always stick together. I left her alone for a while and when I came back she was drinking but acted like she didn't want to move. Again I left her be. Time for everyone to be put up for the night and she was out alone in the middle of the yard, flat on her stomach, legs stretched out behind her and wouldn't move. I brought her inside and gave her a good look over. There is nothing visibly wrong. I put her in a warm bath and she swims but will not allow her legs to come down. I checked her vent for a lodged egg, nothing. Please help me... and excuse the auto correct, it' almost 1am and I don' have time to spell check what my phone screwed up for me. Thank y'll so much. Any advice is better than none.
