Early yesterday I noticed one of my girls sitting puffed a bit but it was a cooler day so wasn't sure if that was why. Went out last night and she was still sitting so I went to pick her up and she walked very slowly away with her tail down. Think kind of a penguin stance. Brought her in and did an Epson salt bath and gave her calcium citrate+vitD. Put her in my brooder bin inside. Checked about an hour later and no egg... So gloved up and checked inside her vent and couldn't feel an egg. It was getting late so she settled down for bed so I let her be for the night. I had to work today but gave her a half of another calcium pill before work and put a puppy pad over the shavings so I could see if she pooped. Got home and no egg but she ate, and pooped some but pretty much watery. Did another Epson salt bath about 1.5 hrs ago.... Still no egg. Her vent pulses when I am near it but is that because she thinks I am a roo mating her??? I still don't feel an egg inside her vent but feeling under and around I felt what may have been one in the area behind her leg more to the side than under. Will attach a pic of how she is standing and I tried to get a pic of her vent but the opening is pointing down. She is an almost 3 hr old Brahma.

A penguin stance is when the bird walks upright, pretty much exactly like a penguin. It is very characteristic, there is no mistaking it.
She didn't walk far when I saw her and now the cage she is in is too small for her to really walk. She is waddling and walking very slow. Her stance is more upright if she isn't laying down. I posted a picture of her stance
