One of our silkie bantams has been staying in her coop (where she usually lays her eggs) for some days. I take her out to feed her because she wouldn’t come out by herself.
She then stays in her seated position for a while until she sees her treats, then she gets up, eats and drinks but goes back to her coop.
Today I have seen her tail feathers shiver. Does anybody know if that’s normal?
She had laid her daily eggs up until 4 days ago, after she laid a soft shelled egg. Since then she has been sitting in the coop all day. I also don’t see her poop.

Could it be that she is egg bound?
