Egg bound treatment

[Henhouse Harlot]

What's the best treatment for an egg-bound hen? My neighbor has a classic case and I'm trying to help her, I've never dealt with this so I wanted to double check, we're going to give her a warm epsom salt bath now, and I gave her some Nutri-drench.

Also gave her some B complex

Calcium tablet with vitamin D 600 mg given into the beak to swallow. Place in a warm humid spot on a warm towel.

Do not bath a chicken if she's sick...it can kill them.

Can you see an egg or can you feel the egg or are you guessing there's a stuck egg?

Noted, a bit late since I already gave her a soak, but thank you for the info! Now I know not to bathe a sick chicken. I didn't think about the shock..
Guessing about the egg bound, she seems to fit the symptoms well. Lethargic, hunched over, tiny steps with a hunched over straining every few steps like she's trying to pass something but it's not coming. She's clearly very uncomfortable, I took pictures and a video so I will try to upload them! I've given her 600 mg of calcium/80 mg magnesium and a soak in warm water saturated with Epsom salts.

Thank you! That all seems to fit except for the pale comb. This hen has a dark red comb.

Her only poop was smeared on the towel, it looked white and surprisingly bright yellow. I'll get a picture of the smear..

She could be suffering from any one of these:

It's anyone's guess.

There isn't much to see, I'm afraid the yellow part was on her and washed away.
