Nothing yet, I’m treating her as if she’s egg bound by soaking her in a warm epsom salt bath. I got some yogurt and calcium to give her. I’m just not sure how to feel her body for an egg or if this is even her situation. I’m really on edge because one of my other chickens died three days ago, she was laying these extremely big eggs, and one burst in her. I don’t want to lose another girl

Yes, she’s got her butt up and tensed, her abdominal area seems to be a bit painful too
That sounds like a good idea I’m going to try that, I just got her out of her epsom soak and she’s eating a bit now.
It worked!!!!! She just popped out a soft shelled egg! Thank you so so so much for your help and replying to me so quickly! I can’t thank you enough! Now I’m just concerned it will happen to another hen but I’ll know what to do this time!
