Hen has picked all of its tail feathers off, is non-lethargic. Comb is drooped over and the tip is grey. Vent is swollen. We submerged in warm water for 30 minutes. She is pooping. Can a chicken be pooping normally and be egg bound? Any ideas?
 
I would check her thoroughly for mites and lice, or just treat her with the powder. I would also worm her, and others if you haven't.
I would oil up a finger and see if she has an egg in there. Yes , they can poop with an egg in there, poop comes down a different chute.
