Barred Rock pullet, 9.5 months old. Flock leader of 6, all the same age. Been spending a lot of time in the nesting box the past couple of days. I thought she laid yesterday but I could be wrong. Today we noticed that the area below her vent is very swollen. It was hard to tell looking, but I felt all their bums for comparison. Hers is much larger, like a baseball and squishy. I put put a finger in her vent about an inch and felt absolutely no egg. I have her in the house, she is eating and drinking. Below is her currently and her last poop (yellow and foamy). She is moving around fine and otherwise acting like her normal self.
I feed flock raiser, oyster shell on the side. Limited treats, mostly greens and scratch.
If I can't feel an egg and she's eating, moving around OK, do I still giver her an epsom salt bath? Any thoughts appreciated! TIA.
