2 days ago I noticed one of my sexlink hen is walking little wobbly but I had to go to work. When I returned I noticed that she was just laying around and from the research I did it sounded that she might be egg bound so I gave her a sitz bath for 15 minutes and I checked inside and I felt no egg. I gave her a little rest for an hour and nothing. I gave her another sitz bath for 30 minutes and checked her again and I still felt nothing. I massaged her abdomen both times. she's eating well. I have not noticed or seen her take any water in I generally feed her layer pellets, but she has free graze of my yard which includes many bugs and earthworms which seems to be her favorite. I also give them left over salad, vegies,and fruit. I tried adding oyster shell to their diet they seem to pick around it. last night I took a calcium tablet and crushed it and put it in a strawberry and she ate the strawberry. I came home from work today and gave her another warm sitz bath she has had normal bowel movements two of which were very round and large, One of which I equated to having her in a box in the house for a couple hours before I put her outside. Today when I felt inside of her again I felt no egg but I did feel stool which felt liquidy and when I pull my finger out was very odorous. she has not a bowel movement since I've done this to know if it's going to come out solid or liquid. I put her outside and she's gotten up and taking a couple steps but she prefers to lay down she is grooming herself dry she did eat some grass what else could I do?
