we have 3 just about 2 years old isa brown hens. yesterday there were 2 eggs in nest box and a 3rd broken maybe only partial pale egg in the poop tray. they have been laying 3 eggs for the most part daily for a while now otherwise. one of the girls was in & out of the coop a couple of times thru the day, and then was in an hour earlier than close up time. she seemed ok this morning (no eggs this morning), but by mid afternoon was in the corner by herself, and didnt move to get let out to roam. husband goaded her out. she grazed only a little but most of the time just stood around. offered her some fermented feed with calcium and a bit of nutri drench, no interest. gave her a warm bath for 20 mins with a bit of massaging. brought her into the garage to isolate her. gave her some veggies with calcium which she ate some of but otherwise was just standing around in front of the heating fan. eventually she went in the temporary nest box. an hour later, still there, no egg. she did seem a little more alert tho & was cooing a bit. took her out, both husband & i took turns finger checking her, neither of us feel we felt an egg. gave her some more fermented feed with baby food, apple, calcium, nutri drench, flax seed...she ate a little more, then back in box! i am nervous and dont know what to do! any thoughts/help would be much appreciated.
