feel

It sounds like egg binding If you can't see an egg, can you feel one?

one where?

Can you get some poultry NutriDrench or SaveAChick electrolytes? Give her 2 ml of the ND a drop at a time. Get her drinking water. Offer her a chopped egg, tuna, or some wet feed. Get a glove and insert a finger into her vent to feel for a stuck egg. Look for any sign of broken egg white or yolk. Look her over for mites or lice, small crawling bugs near her vent or breast. She looks very ill, so I would get the vitamin/electrolytes started soon. Let us know what her droppings look like.

Using a latex glove and some KY, very gently insert your finger into the vent. Push your finger straight back about two inches or so – you should be able to feel the egg. If you cannot feel an egg – she’s not egg bound.
