3.6m Omlet Chicken Run for sale, Brand New in Boxes, Milton Keynes (MK19)

Found out who wasn't laying yesterday, it was head Hen Billina, she finally laid about midday. I noticed that she kept going into the nest, sitting there for about 10 minutes and coming back out again without laying - thought she may be egg bound. Egg was finally laid, but I have noticed she keeps opening her beak like yawning, it is warm out here today! Eating is fine, and not noticed any other problems, is she poorly?

Gaping I think it's called. My hens sometimes do this.

I think it can be a sign of gape worm. It could also be that they've eaten too much and having problems digesting (or whatever chickens do with their food!) Give her a bit and she'll stop doing it!
