Egg bound? Need help

[chris.donovan96]

So this chicken I have, one of the two oldest (6 years) i have has a swollen abdomen. Not swolen enough to soread the feathers, but noticable to the touch. She is rather lethargic and has ststted limping. I found a weird bloody mass in the coop im not sure if it was hers. It seems similar to a lash egg? I have her in an epsom salt bath but I cant really feel a hard lass like an egg inside her? And advice would be appreciated

Do you have photos of the weird bloody mass?

Give 1 Calcium Citrate tablet into her now, then once daily for several days.
Work on hydration.

Is she pooping?

Can you cut it open to see if there up is yolk inside?

It's been a good week or so since the initial post, then you just posted a photo of what you saw, no mention as to whether she's improved or not.

What you have pictured looks like an intact Follicle in a soft shelled membrane. A 6 yr old hen can start to have some reproductive issues, but this may be a one time thing or it could be an indication that her system is slowing down and she's beginning to decline.

Sometimes all you can do is offer supportive care - this includes keeping her hydrated/eating, seeing that crop is emptying, keeping her free of external and internal parasites and relatively comfortable.
