    Not sure what is going on.....very worried!

    I had a chicken acting similiar. She was egg bound. I used lube & tried to get the egg out, but could not do it without breaking it. There was some blood due to pushing out sharp egg shell pieces. The reason she couldnt push it out without breakage is because she had a second large egg right...
