My girl Nugget started limping 2 days ago, its gotten worse since it started. I thought it was an injury but after separating her she seemed distressed. I put her back in the run and she determinedly limped to the nesting box. Now shes sitting in it sounding like an engine failing to start. Is she egg bound? Her tail was also drooping until she got to the nest box and her feathers seem dull and disheveled. Is she eggbound? What should I do to help her, or figure out whats wrong?

...as Im writing this she just popped out an egg so maybe not eggbound? She's still limping and jist tried to walk up for treats, flapping to try and help her move. She then gave up and laid down. She's laying down a lot and her tail is pointing down again.

She is still eating and drinking water, she laid down by the water and drank quite a bit just now

and yesterday
