Weird hen

[milleryardchx]

I got a beautiful Ameraucana pullet May 30th she was 3 1/2 to 4 months then. this week she wont leave the chicken tractor at all my two other girls act just fine and run out to eat bugs but she comes out does a mad dash around the tractor flaps her wings then back in the tractor run and in and out of the coop.

Is she going nuts or is she going to start laying soon? or is there something wrong

Hormones?
She should be laying very shortly all being well.
Some hens seem to be more excitable than others.
Mine became much calmer just before she started to lay.
I should not worry if she is eating well.
Have you checked her for lice or leg mites?

I think other people have described this similar behavior & it's a pre-laying thing.
