Help my chicken might be egg bound! How can i tell

[Pepperthechicken]

I have a hen that has been up in the neating box for over an hour. She is not broody and she has some symptoms of being egg bound. How can i tell if she is, and how can i cure her?

Is she acting lethargic? Is she seem like she is straining to lay an egg? Does she waddle like a penguin when she walks?

She does seem tired but she just laid a rubber egg. Does that mean she is okay?

So she laid shell-less egg?

Ok, give her calcium citrate +D3 everyday until her eggs go back to normal.
