Chicken butt

[blueclip]

This hen walks VERY slowly. Notice how her butt is in the position to either poop/lay. I picked her up and tried to put pressure on a certain area to see if I could "squeeze" out whatever might be in there. Does she have an egg stuck? If so, what should I do? And can she die from this? Please help.

It's possible that she could have some reproductive problem such as internal laying or egg yolk peritonitis. Those can cause problems walking or odd gait, runny droppings, or egg looking material in the droppings.
