I believed that my laying silkie was egg bound. One day I went out & she was laying in the spot she lays her eggs & didn’t really seem to want to move & I thought maybe she was just in the process of laying. So I let her be. The following day, I go out & she is in the same spot & he vent seems to be pushing in & out like she’s trying to lay but unable to & there was no egg under her from the day before. So I watched some videos & gave her a warm bath, massaged her vent, put some vasoline around her vent to help her pass the suspected egg, separated her so she could relax & nest. Well now she is pooping quite a bit bigger hard poops. I had read chickens couldn’t poop while egg bound so now I’m wondering if she is even egg bound. Or was she just constipated?! Why would she be nesting if she was just trying to poop though. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you!
