Hello everyone! I let the chickens into the yard this afternoon and noticed my silkie hen was not following the flock. For the last few hours she's been hardly walking, standing somewhat crouched, and not interested in eating. I can't get her to drink water, but she will occasionally take some oil soaked bread from my fingers. Her vent is pulsing, but nothing is coming out. She's pooped twice, both looked completely normal. I tried to feel her abdomen for an egg, but I didn't feel anything solid. Still, it may be swollen.
I've attached a picture of the stance she takes. She doesn't walk unless startled. Any ideas or advice? Thank you so much for your time.
