My hen went in and out of the nesting box. She’s been laying medium sized eggs for a while now. She had suspected EYP although i’m not sure since she consistently laid eggs.
Today she went and came out an hour or two later with no egg or sign of egg. I’m pretty paranoid since my other hen is being treated for egg binding right now.
She has a big swollen belly that’s been there since she was young. I think it might be a fat pad (slightly squishy) or EYP tissue, and since she is a buff cochin she is around 8-9 pounds. She’s a big hen.
Do egg bound hens show symptoms the day they become egg bound? She is eating and acting regular right now. Just in case i gave her a small amount of calcium citrate like i’ve been giving my other hen.
