Possible egg bound chicken

[CCsGarden]

Ok, update:

She was soaking for almost an hour and there's no progress... if anything she's worse. I still can't feel anything through her vent, but I'm pretty sure there's an egg, but it's stuck in the region below her cloaca, I just can't physically feel it with the gloves. :/

Palpated her abdomen further, the egg feels sideways? How would one fix that of they can't feel the egg in the vent?

I'm so sorry she is doing so poor!

Update for future reference:

We took her to the vet where her abdomen was palpated- the doctor agreed it felt like an egg, but decided to do an xray to confirm. The xray came back negative for an egg, but there looked to be some sort of mass in her abdomen. Doctor did a mini biopsy (it looked like pus) and sent it to the lab while prescribing LA200. Results came back a week later and the best guess so far is that it's lymphoma. Surgery is too expensive and since it's possibly lymphoma, there's no gauruntee that it won't come back after (she would also have to be sterilized), the vet put her on Dexamethazone to try and prevent the mass from growing and to help with pain management. A few days later she laid what looks to be a lash egg (see attached).

All things considered, she's still in good spirits and is on a strick diet of mealworms, and maybe a bite or two of crumble- if she feels like it. I'm back to having a chicken in my room, and it's amusing to see her trying to start a fight with herself in my mirror. I'll be sure to post here again if there's any more updates.

That looks like lash egg material to me. I will tag @Wyorp Rock to take a peak.

I agree, to me it looks like Lash Material. Salpingitis.

I'm sorry to hear about those results. It is good you were able to find vet care; a rare thing for chickens it seems. Best wishes for your girl.
