Good morning! Our Hermione (easter egger) has laid one egg about every week-ish. She's definitely growing back her feathers, so we've made sure to put out less scratch to ensure she's eating her feed. I've also been putting out eggshells for extra calcium.
She doesn't seem to be acting strangely all the time, but she will get hunched up and then be fine a little later on.
My newest observation is that she's going inside to roost a lot earlier than the other girls, like two hours earlier. We live in western NC, so it's still pretty bright around 8pm. Usually, the girls will head inside after 7/7:30 p.m. Yesterday, Hermione went inside at 5:30 p.m.
Is her body just trying to compensate for growing back the new feathers? Is this a sign of stress? I've tried the good ol Google and couldn't find anything. Thanks in advance!
