Chirping
So our 10 month old Pekin hen appears to be eggbound. She has been laying for a few months and suddenly today I see her laying down in the middle of the lawn, away from the others, with her tail going up and down as though she is constipated or trying to pass something. I've seen her poop so I know it isn't constipation and I pulled out one less duck egg than usual the last two days. I have her in my bathroom right now with the temperature at 80 in a lukewarm bath and she seems to be swimming around happy. She has been getting layer feed and I do not have any additional calcium supplements I can give (unless some can be found at tractor supply?). What is my best course of action here? She does not seem to be in pain nor is she not eating (still snapping up any mealworms presented to her) but my husband and I both agree her behavior is not normal.
Thank you for the help!
