Pullet almost prolapsing - egg bound or ??

If there's no egg, then she's most likely full of poop.

Dry stools can cause constipation.

I didn't hesitate to check my hen for an egg, because I was concerned for her.

I went to my second knuckle and didn't feel anything. Should I have checked further in than that?

I didn't feel an egg, but I only felt up to my second knuckle, not sure if I should have checked further in than that. If she is constipated, I should giver her watered down molasses?

No that's far enough. Since you felt nothing she's most likely just constipated.

Yes, some watered down molasses. You could also give her pureed pumpkin if you have any.

Thank you for all your help! I'll keep an eye on her today to see if she's feeling better.
