I have a chicken that is acting like she is egg-bound, she has been like this for about 2 days too. I have tried a lot of stuff but nothing really helped. What I do? I don't want her to die or be in pain.
 
Usually egg bound chickens can't poop, or if it does, it'll just be a little bit of liquid.

What symptoms make you think she's egg-bound, and what "stuff" did you try?

Do you have a picture of her? That would help.

She would not eat, drink, she had decreased activity, fluffed feathers and squawking in distress. I could also feel a fully developed egg in her. I tried to bath her with Epson salt. I gave her tums and gently massaged her underside. I also put oil on her vent. But then she just acted worse. I am sorry but I do not have a picture of her.

I would not give her a bath anymore, sometimes this can be very stressful for them.

I'd give her the Extra Calcium and place her in a quiet place with some water and food, see if she's able to expel the egg or material. I wouldn't feel inside the vent for an egg either, that seems to be painful for them.
