she has this large lump around her vent and i had a chicken who had a similar lump a couple years ago and it died. she just lies down, and kind of twitches constantly. i have read up on swollen bottoms and there are just SO many possibilities, but there is no sign of an egg anywhere. she used to be a great layer, and mostly did eggs so huge even with a jumbo carton you can't close the lid. could this have done some internal damage? she may be in great pain but it is hard to tell as she does not react to much. she does poop from time to time, which might be a good or bad sign, i don't know. i have heard of chickens laying eggs that are too large and they kindof squash their innards. maybe that's what is going on with her, and as i said, I cannot feel any eggs. so picture her lying on her side, and where under her vent is usually fluffy and healthy, it is bald and sticking out, and looks almost like a pink egg but is squishy.
