Hello, I’m new at all of this. I have a laying hen I am concerned about. Here are my observations so far:
If she is “eggbound” ie. The eggs are not coming out of her, is there a way to tell? If so, how can she be helped to lay her eggs?
Thank you in advance, and bless you!
- A bit of her comb is black
- She is 19-22 weeks old and has been in my possession for two weeks
- Her wattles are turning more red
- Her eyes are closed most of the time
- She does clean herself
- She is isolated to prevent from getting pecked
- She is pooping normal
- She needs prompting to eat and drink
- She hasn’t laid any eggs yet
