PLEASE HELP!!! Need to identify egg bound or constipation

Could you get pictures of her laying down?

Any chance she’s going broody? Just trying to think of what else this could be.

She seems sick though. I have broody mama's? Her bum is very hard and she hasn't pooped all night. I'll go put a egg by her and see if she will tuck it.

Now im confused. She tucked it under her "sorta". She still hasn't pooped

Okay I just don’t know why she’s laying down. I’m no expert for chicken diseases or anything though.

Has she been out of that cage at all?

Only for baths. She doesn't want to walk, and she was out yesterday

Oh okay. I’m really not sure. Hopefully others will chime in.

Is she being vocal at all?

She seems broody to me as well. A broody will only leave her nest once, sometimes twice a day for food and water. They also hold their poops until then as well. So all the things you've described also describe a broody hen. A video or two may confirm or deny that though.

Not very vocal. I took her out of the cage and she walked in laced on the egg and is now drinking water. Would a broody hen tolerate a bath? Video coming shortly.
