Hen walking funny/slow, maybe eggbound? Pic.

[target022]

One of my hens has started to walk funny. It seems like she can't help but stand up straight. She seems bottom heavy. Her abdomen is firmer than the rest of the hens and a little bigger. I checked to see if she was eggbound but didn't feel anything.

About her:
2 years old. Laid wrinkled eggs, then molted at about a year old and has never laid again. I posted about it and its probably a defective shell gland. Ever since she stopped laying she's looked a little plumper but that's it.
I'm thinking her machinery might be trying to produce eggs.

Oh your poor girl, I feel so bad for her. It hurts my heart.
because your hen has not had a good record of egg laying. As you said she use to lay wrinkled eggs and then she stoped altogether.

I could be wrong, but She looks like she could have Egg Peritonitis

here is another link about a hen that got it and survived with surgery.

Or ,She could be egg bound.

Anyone else have an idea?

I think your first idea is correct, it makes sense. I remember seeing what looked like a piece of cooked yolk in the coop and wondering where it came from.
Thanks for finding that information.

Please keep me updated on her,
I will send some prayers.
what is her name?

Thank you for your support. I'm sorry to say she died this afternoon. It's too bad, I was going to try and drain some of the fluid with my vet-tech friend tomorrow.

She was the alpha of the flock.

I am so sorry

She was truly a beautiful hen.
