Hi guys! I have a buff orpington who is around 2 years old having some problems. The only symptoms that she is having is penguin stance and sometimes she pushes or squeezes, whatever. Things that I have so far tried is epson salt bath, and gave her half a calcium tablet with d3. None of those worked (im aware calcium does not work right away.) Any other suggestions? Should I give her another soak?

Update:
After the soak, i feel like it looks like the first stages of prolapsed vent. Not sure if this is part of prolapsed, but i see some white thing, also, her poops are very very small.

Here is a pic:

That may be a broken egg dribbling out. Go ahead and give her the other half of the calcium tablet and keep her in a quiet spot until you hear from the educators.
I gave her the other half, not sure why it would be broken though, her eggs are always great and she doesn't fly much. How do i help her if thats the case?
Here is another pic, it looks kind of orangey yellowish.

How is she doing now?

Did she expel an egg?

I'm glad you gave her the other 1/2 of the Calcium Tablet. Give her a whole tablet once daily for several days.

Looks to me like she's having a hard time expelling an egg or egg material (lash, soft shell, membrane, etc.). No signs of Vent Gleet to me.

IF she likes the soaking, you can continue with that. If she's not too keen or is lethargic, provide a heating pad covered in a thick towel (set on low). Make sure she has room to move off of the heating pad.

Continue to provide normal food and water during waking hours.
