hello,ive been dealing with a serama hen thats very swollen.i thought she was eggbound but ive been treating her for a 2 weeks.no egg,no better,no worse.shes eating and drinking fine.shes acting a bit lazy but that might be cause shes stuck in a cage by herself.anyone have any idea why this hen is swollen?
thanks for any help...

Any update on your hen? What exactly do you mean by swollen?

Look up posts by me on "Drained a Hen's Abdomen" and "RIP Maxie". That may be what you're dealing with, egg peritonitis/internal laying.
