Kind of an emergency. I am new to chickens as of this year so I am learning a lot as I go. I fear I have an egg bound chicken. If I am correct she is my chicken who lays a lot of large double yolkers. She has been in the nesting box for three days. I thought she had went broody on me but no eggs. I brought her in today and did an internal exam on her vent and I could not feel an egg. She did have a huge poop that stank to high heaven. She is swollen in her bottom hind quarters. Like below her vent. I have soaked her, rubbed her with preparation h, and I mixed some yogurt and tums and force fed it to her with a syringe. After force feeding her the yogurt and tums she had another large stinky poop (pics below). I am at a loss and I don't want her to suffer. Please help. No vet close.
