This is my first time dealing with an egg bound chicken and it's late at the time of me posting this. I believe I caught it early but I've given my chicken an empson salt bath though I'm pretty sure I didn't get her vent under water at all times

She was standing like a penguin at the time of finding her. Around 8 so she was trying to sleep. (Kinda why I have no pictures at the moment.)

The egg is probably deep inside right now and I'm not feeling any hardness that I think is an egg, I'm feeling bone mostly but I'm probably feeling around the wrong area.

There isn't any calcium available but I'm buying calcium now and she will be given egg shells as well as the others until oyster shells have been acquired.

I'm just really worried about my girl, any suggestions on what else to do will help.
 
Calcium Citrate +D3 tablet (Citracal or generic equivalent, available any place that sells vitamins or supplements. Just pop it into her beak, she can swallow it). Give one a day for 5 to 7 days. Easiest to do after she's roosted at night so you don't have to chase or catch her. She can swallow it no problem. Keep us posted and good luck.
