Hi! Again lol! I have posted so much lately.

I was checking on my hens via the monitor, and saw one of my hens butt look like the feathers and her tail were separated? Is this egg bound?

It is hot, so keep that in mind. That pic was from 15 minutes ago, this is how it looks now:
Her friends head is in the way lol!

Can't tell a thing about what you are asking.

An egg bound hen will usually not be roosting, most of the time an egg bound hen will be standing hunched up or sometimes standing like a Penguin with her eyes closed looking miserable. She will not be pooping.

Look at some of the photos in this article, these are some "classic" stances of hens that are eggbound.
