I know I'm a crazy chicken lady because my little buff orpington was in distress and I thought it might be that she was egg bound, so I gently rubbed olive oil on her vent and then stood with her in front of a heat lamp for 20 minutes, saying "push, push!" every couple of minutes until that big hard egg popped out! Now she's in the nesting box (probably a couple more in there) and I'm having a coffee, proud as punch that I knew what to do to help her feel better!
