Ok....I gave her some nutrients drench and Monistat. She inside so I can see if she poops. Gave her water but no food. I hate posting on Emergency threads because then you overwhelmed with suggestions and it's just more confusing. I can feel some grain in her crop . She isn't swollen or puffy anywhere else and her come is bright red. So....I'll see if she poops and go from there

It could have also been from the traveling if they had to go through a lot of bumpy roads. IDK how things are where you live, but the winter does terrible things to our roads. they're 64% potholes right now.

Oh they had to bring the houses up and down all sorts of hills and twisty, winding roads to get them here. The house already had issues before it left their lot (it was one that was ordered but never completely paid for so we got a reduced price for a lot model). The single wide frame also seemed to be more.... flexible than the double wide frames.

I do know what you mean. You end up with a lot of folks that know nothing giving bad advice.

@apryl29 her vent isn't red but the area above it is......where the Cochin poof is. Her nose is clear

Exactly. I think between all of us Squatchers, we've seen about everything so I trust all of your advice

If she were egg bound would the area above her vent be swollen and red?

Not usually, I have seen that area redden when there is a little infection present though.
She been laying ok? Any softies?

It sounds to me like her crop is slow. Like a balloon is how I would have described Glayds’s before I treated it for being sour.

An Epsom salt bath won’t hurt if you think there could be an egg in there. I would think she would be straining though.

I’d stick with the monistat and some light massage. Be careful of her puking. If she does you want to hold her head down, butt up for a few seconds till she clears.
