Hi, I am relatively new to chickens, it has not even been a year yet. I have 3 hens, and thought one of them was egg bound but now I'm not sure. Last night I noted that she was in her nesting box in the evening for a long time (unusual for her), then instead of the normal egg laying sound she made a screaming sound, and then a kind of gurgly sound. I felt her abdomen and felt what I thought was an egg, up almost under her ribs. Upon further research I think that may be her gizzard. I gave her calcium & did the warm water soak last night & this am, no change. She is alert, eating & drinking, but her stools are dark, scant, and watery. Any ideas?
