If she starts laying down on the floor of the coop, I would give her a sitz bath with Epsom salts.

I just went out and she is up on the roost bars with everyone else! I will keep a close eye on her tomorrow! Hopefully she will be okay overnight! Thank you again!!! Have a good night!

Hi everyone! I did post this in the egg laying forum, but I thought I would check here too! One of my BO hens has been in the coop for several hours, in a nesting box, out of a nesting box, watching her sisters lay their eggs...I'm beginning to think she might be having a problem! She's almost 5.5 months old and has been laying eggs for almost a month without any problems! When do you think I should start to be concerned? I'm hoping that she is not egg bound and I'm looking up those symptoms right now! Thanks!

I would not worry at this point. It takes a while for them to get completely into the egg laying process. 5.5 months is still young for a pullet too

Thank you Ron! It was such unusual behavior from her! She is a pretty active hen, so I started getting concerned! Hopefully she will be better tomorrow!
