Thanks Cathryn for your reply and great questions
She seems fine in every other way - She is one of the "rounder" ladies,has a bright red comb and runs and keeps up with the younger gals. I will check the lice/mites thing-- No haven't seen any worms. I put a tiny amount of ACV in their water about once a week or 10 day. A couple of table spoons full for 5 gals of water. Her vent area looks ok. Maybe some molting starting. She lays about 1 egg every 4 or 5 days. I know which eggs are hers so easy to tell.
We have had really hot weather (upper 80's/low 90's in the day and the coop was hot also) until yesterday and yesterday we had rain and last night the temp droped to the upper 40's --so sooooo nice.
Thanks again for your great questions
Rita
