i thought she was eggbound. i checked her vent no egg she has yellowish / white liquid comeing from her vent shes panting and groaning in dark corner of coop. she had been broody for about 3 weeks sitting in nestbox . she finally broke the broodiness as i didnt let her set on eggs. but she wouldnt stay out of the box. now shes in this conditon could she be poop bound ,. will she survive.

I think try putting her lower half in a nice warm bath then masage olive oil into her vent. Also if she is willing to eat soak (and I mean really soak) bread with the olive oil and feed that to her as well. maybe by lubing up both ends and putting her in warm water you will get things going.

I agree and be aware that there could be a broken shell in there and that she may need some gentle assistance to expel them...the warm water will dilate her chute and give the best chance to get that stuff out...

it's really important to get them up and out so they can "go", eat and drink..and exercise..
she might have been constipated..
hard to know for sure..

so sorry..

poor little girl..
