Hello! I have a white leghorn that is a little over a year old that is acting strangely. She has been in and out of her nest since yesterday and when she's out of the nest she puffs up and puts her head down. I thought she might be egg bound so I picked her up (with rubber gloves) and examined her back end. Its extremely messy with goo. I searched a bit just inside and palpatated her abdomen but feel absolutely nothing. I set her down and she pooed a string of off white goo but nothing else. She walks around and doesn't really walk upright like a penguin but then she puts her head down and her wings sag and she puffs her feathers up. Is it possible that she was egg bound or had some kind of trouble and now has an infection? Has anyone else experienced this? Is there anything I can do?
