Hi. We are quite new to chickens and joined here last night. One of our chooks is lethargic and seems very puffed up. She is still eating though. She had a white poo substance near her vent. We have given her a warm bath and seperated her and brought her in from the cold. After looking unsuccessfully for oral calcium i bought some calcium tablets and crushed 2 up an mixed with water and fed to her with a pipette. She is still the same this morning. We suspect she is egg bound. Please could anyone give us some advice. Thanks.
 
Welcome to BYC. Can you put on a rubber glove, and feel an inch or so inside with one finger for a stuck egg? Place her inside a warm humid room such as a bathroom. How old is she? Has she lost any weight in her breast bone, or does she have any swelling in her lower belly? It may not be egg binding, so I would offer her some water with electrolytes and vitamins, and some egg along with her feed. How do her droppings look?
