Songster
I had posted a while back ago about her and that she had been only laying small eggs (like fairy sized) for months now. She has seemed fine doing all the normal chicken things other than laying normal sized eggs. She's a little over 2 years old and was one of my first girls to lay eggs.
BUT as of last evening I noticed she wasn't acting like herself. Kind of weary looking eggs, tail down and not moving too fast. I picked her up to examine her back end for anything abnormal looking but I still feel a bit new as to treating sick chickens.
I thought possibly she was egg bound so I did the epsom salt soak last evening and got her dried before bedtime but this morning she still isn't perking and not interested in eating.
Any thoughts?
Oh yes and I did let them free range a bit last week while I was working in the flower beds.
