Hi!
My silkie hen is not feeling well. She is 2 years old. She eats, drinks and poops like normal, but she sits by herself all day and don’t look well at all. She’s not laying eggs and i think it could be egg bound. I’ve given her a warm bath twice with epsom salt and after the baths she sits like this (see picture). She pushes but nothing comes out. The area under her vent is hard on both left and right side. I can’t tell if there’s an egg I’m feeling but its something hard.
I would take her to the vet but its only one vet where I live and they don’t know much about chickens.
What could this be and what should I do?
She is wet from the bath, thats why she’s looking a bit weird on the picture.
