As far as I can see, eating and drinking is normal. She's about 2 years old. She's laying regularly. I believe she just started molting. No bumblefoot or visible injuries, crop is normal and not egg-bound as far as I could feel. No odd smells.
However, she is the top of the pecking order. She guides the flock around. Today though, I noticed whenever I saw her she was sitting in the shade under a tree. She's a skittish girl and doesn't usually let me hold her for long. Today I went to her, she stood up, but didn't go anywhere. She sat in my lap for some time and did not wiggle when I checked for injuries. I eventually took her off of me and made her run a lap around the coop. She didn't stumble at any time but when we stopped she sat right back down.
Any Ideas at why she might be significantly less active than usual?
