Will an egg bound hen still be able to poop a normal looking poop? I have a hen that has been in the nesting box all day trying to lay. I finally took her in and gave her a warm bath, which she totally relaxed in for 15 minutes. I'm not sure what's wrong her? She's still eating, but she's worried about sitting in the nesting box. I can't feel an egg at all, but she's all red/swollen below her vent area. Shes not prolapsed. She's still pooping solid poop. Anybody have any ideas??? She's only 17 months old.
