We had a chicken (6 year old named Pidgey) we discovered was egg bound yesterday evening. We isolated her from the flock, soaked her in water, and got her situated for the night. When I checked on her in the morning she had laid an egg and was moving around again, but very gingerly. Her rear end looks pretty rough, but her behavior is vastly improved from the night before. She has started drinking again and pecks around in the dirt, but has not started eating her regular feed yet. Is this something that should be concerning to us? Or is it just an indication that she was stressed out from being egg bound and it's safe to assume she'll resume eating as she continues to feel better? Thanks for any help!
