Default chicken not laying

How old is she?


(As I said above :-) she's just over 1, if I recall correctly.
She was one of our first pair. (Actually, our replacement first pair, cos
the first got taken back cos they were yucky) We got our first about a year
ago, not sure of the date, and she was POL, so I'm guessing she's between 14
and 16 months.

Is she eating & drinking well?


Seems to be.

Is she swollen up at all?


Not that I've noticed.

Are her droppings ok?


Hard to tell whose is whose, but no-one seems to be having problems.

Has she been wormed?
And external parasites?


Hmm, that would be NIck's area, not mine, so I would have to check with him.

However, I've just remembered - over winter we thought we were going to lose
her, cos she had a broken egg, but after some prodding and TLC she
recovered. I wonder if she may have had internal damage that has healed
over but caused a permanent problem?

As you may be able to tell, we're relatively new to this game!

Thanks.
