maybe egg bound

[Mama_hen]

Hi I know that everyone is busy but I need some help with my Buff. I have never had any problems health wise until now. My buff may be egg bound and I don't know how to check her or how to help her. Please help, I don't know what will happen to her if she is and I don't know how to help

They say put her in water,warm water,that can sometimes relax that muscle.There r a lot of articles on here about egg bound. I had my hen x rayed and it showed the egg,they did not do any thing else,to make a long story short ,i did an internal on her,they say hold them like a football,use mineral oil and see if u can feel the egg,inside u have to go to the top opening.I never could feel the egg,i put mineral oil into her the next morning she passed 3 eggs,we gave her antibotics because she was running a temp from infection.we still have her.
