Good morning, have a little problem with one of my hens - they are at point of lay at the moment (I think), for the past week I have been finding the white and yolk of an egg for the past week in the hen's coop. We were to get the hens at POL but they came much younger and I'm only guessing that this is how you can tell.
Now down to my problem, one of my hens a RIR seems a bit depressed looking, there has been no attack that I know of but since Monday evening I have spotted her walking around either with the others or not, her Head kept into her chest not outstretched at all, sometimes dosing off while standing outside but a lot of the time with her right eye closed. She is only picking at food and spends a lot of time in the coop. Yesterday I tried Doganjo's recipe and put it into the coop with her, she didn't touch it but when I took it out to the rest of them yesterday evening she hopped out and picked a bit with them. The rest of them devoured it! I have also seen her drink but don't know if this can be "normal" behaviour for hens. Is she too young to be broody when they seem at POL?
Any suggestions would be grateful to put my mind at ease
