My smallest white hen is obviously eggbound and I believe she has been for quite some time as I've gotten 1 less white egg for 2 weeks. She is acting totally fine; eating, drinking, sleeping, pooping, but she's in and out of the nesting box a lot and I can see a large egg from behind. She is still missing a lot of hiney feathers from molting, so it's easy to see the egg and it is definitely intact. She's one of my more nervous girls, so I'm afraid of stressing her even more. Is there anything else I can try before resorting to the bath and massage method?
 
Don't you wish you could just spray her butt with some vegetable oil and it would pop out? I don't think there is much that would help without stressing her some, but maybe someone else will have some ideas.
