Chirping
My hen has been waddling around, tail feathers down, and laying down every chance she can. She hasn’t laid in at least 26 hours. I thought she might be egg bound, but I just gloved up and felt around in her vent and can not feel an egg. There is a rather large round sack kind of between her legs, but I’m not sure if that’s just normal chicken butt. She looks uncomfortable walking around but is eating and drinking normally.
She’s a 10 month old Buff Orpington, I’ve had her since she was a baby chick, no new chickens have been added to the flock.
I have her separated from the rest of the flock, gave her an Epsom salt bath and gave her some calcium and some nutridench.
Photos of poop from this morning (although she stepped on it before I got in there), her vent, and how she’s standing/laying.
Is she egg bound or is this something else?
