I have a silkie that is staying in the nesting box all day for the last 3 days. She is about 6 months old. She has been laying eggs for the last couple weeks, however for the last few days she has not. She is not eating or drinking unless i take her out of the box. then i have seen her eatna small amount of food and get a drink. Her vent does not look swollen or red. She is loosing weight and her crop is empty. She doesn't have any other symtoms. I thought she was just broody but she isn't sitting on any eggs. What are the symptoms of egg bound? What should i look for? Please Help...........
