A week ago my chicken seemed to be egg bound. She looked unwell, wasn’t moving much, her bottom was constantly pulsating and leaking droppings, and had a slight prolapse.
I soaked her in warm water, cleaned her bottom, pushed the vent area back in, and felt for an degg but couldn’t feel one.
A day or so later she seemed completely better and I found a soft shelled egg in the run. It was wrinkly and bloody, and seemed to be the entirety of the shell however the yolk and whites weren’t there. This could be due to my other chickens eating them before I discovered it though.
A few days after this my chicken started to decline. Her comb is pale, her tail feathers down, she is just laying around, runny droppings that have been bright yellow. She is still drinking and eating treats though.
Any ideas as to what would be wrong and how to treat at home if possible?
