Chicken not laying 4 weeks after becoming egg bound {Please help}

[Jay Waring]

Hey, I have a chicken who isn't laying. She stopped laying 4 weeks ago when she became egg bound. Today she looked very dazed and confused. She is eating. Not sure if she is drinking and pooping.

She’s old. That might be why she isn’t laying anymore.

She was laying very well befre becoming egg bound. Then it suddenly stopped after she became egg bound though.

Maybe the egg bound was what finally made her “retire”

I checked her bum area yesterday and it seemed harder than the other light breeds that i own. Who knows maybe.
