for a few months now... since september eggs from this chicken have been iffy... the last eggs i got from her were sometime in november and they were tiny eggs... like robin sized... normally she lays green eggs.....
she is over 1 year old (got her as a freebi, healthy back in april).
I haven't seen moulting before but*, there is no evidence of feathers anywhere in the coop... so i do not think it is losing them.... but just look at some pics of her.
i have seen no signs of worms...
the rooster hasn't touched her since september.
it seems to be eating and drinking well.
all the other chickens are doing fine.
i have heat lamps on 24/7 due to the lack of lighting and warmth (below 20 most nights) she like to be under the lamps often and goes to bed first*
because we now have deep snow they are in now confined in the coop
they get along well and a flock block keeps them distracted.
during the summer i considered her a every day-every other day layer.
