Help with chicken!! Stuck egg? Water belly?

[Soccerjen3]

Hi!

I have a 4 year old hen with a small sack under her lower tummy.

It does feel hard but not sure if this is water belly or a stuck egg? What would you do?

She is eating drinking, free ranging, doesn’t act weird so totally lost. Took her in for a bath, gave her some apple cigar vinegar in her water and switch to baby food just incase it is an egg so she doesn’t make another one.

I’ve never had to deal with this before!

Have you felt it? It looks like an egg to me but I could be wrong.

If it is an egg, she needs calcium. Tums are what most people use, I think. This article should be able to help you: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/egg-binding-symptoms-treatment-and-prevention.66978/

Hi! Thanks!! I’ll take a look. She isn’t walking like a penguin and is eating and drinking.

It is hard though, so not sure
