So this morning I posted thinking my hen was egg bound. She's a buff orpington, a little over a year old. She's been acting strange, this morning she was very lethargic. Thinking she was egg bound I've been giving her baths, yogurt, tums, etc. to try and help get the egg out. Anyways I went to put some vaseline in her vent to help lubricate for an egg, and she took a huge explosive poop on me. And I mean explosive, it was very large. It smelled very bad,
I guess the good news is is that she isn't egg bound. However her comb is still very red, she's eating a little bit, and not wanting to drink water. What is my next move here? Do chickens get constipated? What else is there for me to do for her?
