Our alpha chicken, Taco, is a 15 month old Barred rock who laid through her first winter but then starting in February she started laying very thin shelled eggs and now hasn’t laid in weeks. She laid a few in off places outside nest box then stopped altogether.
The other night I went out late to collect eggs and she was sitting in nest box on the other girls eggs - I pushed her off and she kept climbing back in and adjusting position of the eggs. Hasn’t done it since. She seems to be sitting on the ground a lot of the time when the others are up and foraging.


Is she sick?
This doesn’t seem like what broody is supposed to be?
Any thoughts?
