I'm new to laying. My Orpington just started laying. We got two good eggs, then yesterday we got two additional shell less eggs, which could've been from other hens. Today I'm watching her and it's like she's trying but nothing's happening. She's eating and drinking, keeps going into her box and clearly pushing, then getting out and yelling. Her wings are down and feathers fluffed, open mouth breathing. This has been going on for about an hour. Is she egg bound? Am I just paranoid and love my chickens too much? It's like chicken labor and I am the nervous mom...
