I think my hen is egg bound. I have given her mineral oil in her bottom twice. massaged massaged, soaked her twice in a warm Epson salt bath. she pooped and this is what it looks like. I think it has a little blood in it. what does that mean?

Well, that doesn't look good. Has she laid that egg, yet? Have you done an internal exam? Can you give us a full run down of her signs and symptoms?

I haven't done the exam and no egg yet. she has the symptoms of standing around going repeated trips to the nest with no results slow walking waddeling somewhat. she acts like she wants to push when I use the mineral oil on her bottom.

she also breaths heavy sometimes. when I put her in the warm bath she laid over on her side almost she was up against my hand but she went to sleep for a few seconds at a time. it really relaxed her

Chickens actually love warm baths. Who would have guessed?

I think it may be time for an internal exam. That poop looks like it may have cooked egg material in it, although it could just be yellow urates. The small piece of meaty material probably isn't anything good either. That is likely a small piece of her reproductive equipment. Not generally anything to worry about because that stuff sometimes happens, but in light of her other signs it is definitely something to take note of and further investigate.
