My 1 and a half year old Australorp has been a suspect of EYP for quite some time now. The last known egg she gave was back in July of 2021. After that I don't know when she stopped laying. Nearly every day, she goes to the egg box, makes a ruckus and comes back out. She acts as though she has been laying eggs. Her abdomen keeps getting bigger and harder. Now it seems to be purple.
She has always been active and healthy, with a little bad days here and there, but never this serious! Today she was standing still with her feathers all fluffed up. She has yet to poop in front of me. Her stance in the morning felt a mixture of trying to lay an egg or being extremely cold. Her abdomen is so big that it looks purple and her comb might appear red but it's a bit soft and pliable.
I checked her vent today and could not put my finger in even for half an inch. She had this mass both up and down. I gave her a warm bath for about 5-7 minutes as she didn't want to be in the water for a long time. I also gave her calcium citrate.
