I have an almost 3 year old white leghorn who I found this morning walking like a penguin and a bit puffed up but still eating.
The last 2 nights she has been in the nest box when I went to close up the coop but has not laid an egg. She was still acting normally until this morning however.
I now have her in a crate with food water and gave her a crushed tums with yogurt and a warm soak
Her abdomen feels squishy and swollen her vent is also swollen and pulsating like she’s trying to push out an egg.
I am going to soak her again with Epsom salt this afternoon and see if I can feel an egg.
I have coconut oil to lubricate the vent area.
What else should I be doing?
Does this seem like she’s egg bound or something else.
Thanks so much!
