Hi All!
We are new here and we have a problem.
This afternoon one of our chickens had segregated herself in the coop and hunched down on the floor. She was straining and not producing any feces or egg. I checked to see if she was egg bound and I was able to completely insert my index finger and not feel any egg. She also was dirty on the back end. I am not sure what I should do next. We have put her in a new coop for the night since the other birds were pecking at her back end as soon as they were near her. I am not sure if she is eating or drinking, she did not seem interested in the food or water. She just wanted to stay low and strain.
Thank you for any advice!
