One of my chickens was recently egg bound. I was quick to spot something was wrong as she kept squatting every few steps when I went out to see them and let them roam about the yard for a bit. While you could not see the egg you could see that she was trying to lay one, when I checked I could feel the egg not that far in. I had given her a massage or two and even a warm soak or two but she did not lay it that night or the day after. I was worried I was going to lose her or worse have to euthanize her myself to stop her from suffering but the next afternoon she passed the egg, as well as a second egg with no developed shell. She is back to her normal feisty self though its been a few days and she hasn't laid another egg since.
I was wondering if that was normal due to stress or if I should start to worry about her again. I haven't seen any signs of further egg binding but as these are my first chickens I am considerably worried about it happening again.
