Bathing a chicken with gleet, found that she was egg bound.

[Lady Fiona]

What a mess! I was bathing a young hen with gleet and kept feeling a hard mess (new to hands on chicken tending). Shortening the story, she eventually pushed the very hard egg out.
NOW WHAT CAN I DO?? Is there anything special to do? No blood or apparent tearing. What could I do in future to prevent or fix this?

Very happy you were able to help her get it out!

Just make sure your ladies have free-choice oyster shells. Crushed egg shells simply aren't enough.
