My 2 year old bantam hen seemed weird tonight and she kept squatting trying to poop and she seems extremely uncomfortable. I checked her vent and it looked a bit red and like there was feces trying to come out but couldn’t. I’m extremely worried, is it egg bound or possible prolapse vent? Is it possible she’s just constipated??
 
Update: she actually passed a shell-less egg that broke inside of her. She seems better now and ate and drank but I heard this can still cause infection. What should I do now?
