2 days ago my chicken starting walking funny, I assumed she was egg bound so I immediately isolated her, gave her regular soakings and fed her calcium. Since she has laid 2 eggs, has been pooping and eating normal and her bottom looks normal other than the pulsating. She is still walking strange and mostly laying down. What could be going on?

How old is she? Has she been laying normally up to now? Is her lower belly below her vent enlarged, firm, spongy, or tight? Is her tail position up or down? You might want to try some human super B complex tablets 1/4 tablet daily crushed into some foo$d or egg. Did you give a calcium tablet with vitamin D?
 
Hi, is there any update on your bird? I have a 2yo Australorp that is showing these symptoms this morning.
Laid yesterday and seemed fine, was out of the run for about an hour in the evening with my husband watching. This morning she came out of the coop and was standing with dropped tail and immediately laid on the run floor. Her abdomen feels normal, I palpated her vent and not feeling much, maybe slightly firmer than normal...her poo is a bit watery and yellow but she seems alert and had color in her face. Doesn't seem interested in eating food but wants treats, crop was empty when she woke this morning.
