Maybe Eggbound

[Zipdot12]

My 3 year old chicken is dragging her butt around. Tail feathers down and walking slow. She has trouble going up and down the ladder into the coup. She is eating and drinking well and her comb is a good color. I can’t feel anything around her vent so I don’t think she is egg bound but have never had to deal with an egg bound bird so am not quite sure. She diesnt appear to be injured at all. I would appreciate any help or suggestions.

What do her crop and abdomen feel like? When did she last poop, and what did it look like? Post a picture, if you think the poop looks off. (No, that's not weird, it's helpful and can tell a lot about the bird's health.)

Do you know when she last laid an egg?

If she's egg bound if her a bath in a tub of warm water and massage you can also put a glove on and put some oil in her vent i did this and my hen made it good luck!
