HELP- is my chicken egg bound???

[blasttribe]

I have a hen who was kind of walking hunched over and was trying to eat and drink. She was successful in the eating and drinking but she kept walking around the coop hunched over and slower than normal. Her comb and eyes are normal and she's not breathing heavily. But her entire backside under her vent was swollen and mushy. I can't feel a formed egg, The tissue on her vent area that swollen isn't hot but it is red and I don't know what to do. Is she egg bound?

If you don't feel an egg, then likely she doesn't have one stuck.
The swelling/bloat below the vent may be fluid. Sometimes swelling/bloat can be from other reproductive disorders like Cancer, EYP, Salpingitis, etc.

If there's fluid in the abdomen, then draining can give comfort for a short period of time. It's not cure, but a supportive care measure.

I'd get 1 Calcium Citrate tablet into her once a day for several days. See that she's eating/drinking well.

Thank you I appreciate that support. She's doing really well and has had some really large fecal deposits but they're solid. She's eating and drinking and seems to be doing really well mine is the smushy bottom.
