One question about egg bound hens...please help!

[gritsar]

I posted earlier today about my Maggie being a bit "off":

She's out wandering with the flock now, acting a bit better; but still seems a little...depressed is the best word I can think of to describe it.

My question is, when a hen is egg bound, do her stools look different? I just saw Maggie poop and it was completely urate (the white urine part) with no stool. Does being egg bound cause a hen to be constipated? Does the egg block the stool from being passed?
I looked on the poo page but can't find a picture to match her droppings. I've felt for an egg, but really don't feel anything out of the ordinary.

I notice when I have an egg bound hen their is often a lot of white poo dried on their bottom....

I think one of my hens had this problem? I had to clean her bottom... alot of the white poo.. & an egg was really dirty/ soiled at one end, I am guessing it was hers? Does this happen with only the first egg? Do they usually pass it on their own?
