One of the girls is very downcast this morning. She's standing puffed up & tail down (eggbound?) Her crop felt very tight but some olive oil & a massage seemed to loosen it almost instantly. She's very butch & rarely lays, when she does it's a small egg sometimes tiny (smaller than a bantam). Her cloaca doesn't look angry at all & she's eating ok.

Perhaps she's just having an off day. If she is not a regular layer then she won't be eggbound. See how she is tomorrow. -
Just leave her be and watch her - if a chicken is eating a drinking then I always leave them where they are and monitor them, perhaps try to encourage her to eat a little more with a tastu treat of whatever she likes, pasta, rice egg. there are a million and one things it could be but egg bound doesn;t sound likely, the temperature has dropped at night and now is when things that are grumbling start to surface.
Watch her and post any obvious symptomsComment
