My first egg binding

[Beaker99]

I've a year old Ameracauna who I believe is egg bound.
She hasn't laid in a couple days and she tends to lay daily. She has a slightly tucked in appearance. She still eats and drinks. She sat in the nest box but was unsuccessful.
I have done two Epsom salt baths, after which she expelled a tiny amount of feces. Gave a 600 mg calculation citrate.
Is there anything else to be done? I don't want to lose such a young layer.

Hi! Give her the calcium citrate every day, twice a day. Do you have aqua mox? It's amoxicillin. If you have any leftover amoxicillin in the fridge that will work too. 250 mg twice a day for up to five days.

Epsom salt "soak" keep her in a dark warm room with humidity; bathroom steamed up in a crate with bedding.
