It maybe she's not been able to pass the egg. If so it might be visible just inside the cloaco. Extra warmth may relax her enough to allow her to pass the egg. If it doesn't work. Hold the hen very carefully in a towel over some steam try not to scare her. Then drop a little warmed liquid paraffin into the vent to ease the eggs passage. If that doesn't work see a vet pal atb 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
