    Post Egg Bind Constipation?

    Hello! One of my bantams was egg bound yesterday. We got the egg out but today she was acting the same. I thought it was another egg bind so I gave her a hot bath but she didn’t lay, however she didn’t poop quite a bit. Is it possible she was just constipated? What should I do now?
