This morning my silkie was very vocal and was going in and out of the nesting boxes. I figured she was going to lay an egg. My entire flock hadn’t laid any eggs this winter. Most were molting but my silkie was broody before winter hit and then usally when I brake her she stops laying and winter didn’t help with getting her to lay again. But tonight when I was putting them to bed she was still in the box, no egg. She roosted not even 10 minutes later but I noticed her butt feathers were slimey. The video below shows. After the video she pooped but all that came out was brown white slimey liquid poop. Her crop is full, she’s up and moving. I don’t think she’s egg bound but idk. Is she trying to lay an egg, maybe getting back into the habit of laying?
