She is 2 years old. I am not sure about her last egg, my daughter forgot to collect eggs. We only have 4 leghorns, so if we have 4 eggs, we know she lays. She is sitting on the nesting boxes tonight instead of perching tonight.

Do you think it might be weeks since she last laid?
Hmm, I'd get some calcium citrate +D3 and give her one tablet once a day incase she's trying to pass something.
No, she definitely laid in the last few days. She also pooped today while I was checking her out.
I'm sorry for your experience. I can't afford a vet bill right now. From my understanding, leghorns do not have a long life span due to their prolific egg laying.That sounds like Ascites/ water belly. Can be caused by a lot of things but either requires a vet appointment to drain it or euthanasia- and if you do get a vet to drain it, it often comes back. (Speaking from experience
That's great!
Organ failure is not uncommon in heavy laying breeds
I can get a picture of her in the morning. It's 12am here in Massachusetts lol!!
