Chicken Egg Bound PLEASE HELP!

[pax12]

My chicken I think is egg bound, I haven't gotten an egg in about a week and she's always squatting down like she's trying to lay an egg. Also I think she's having a very hard time going to the bathroom. Here's is a video from a few days ago.

As of today she seems really tired and really isn't acting herself. I have been putting the foam anti bacteria stuff on her vent to avoid infection since there was blood and I been spraying her vent with water in hopes it makes the egg and waste easier to pass. VIDEO COMING SOON


PLEASE REPLY IF I SHOULD DO ANYTHING ELSE!

No egg, no need to soak, and she looks way too sick for a bath. Would be best to bring her in where it's warm (80-85 degrees) and tube warmed fluids to her.

The OP said that they checked and couldn't feel one. FYI, giving a chicken that is that ill a bath would probably kill it. Would be better to put it in a bathroom full of steam, but no need to if she doesn't have a stuck egg. Make sense?

Something must be stuck if she cant go to the bathroom
