Answer 1

Okay, I dont know what other people think but I would ask a vet. I had a bird and it wouldnt lay any eggs and its but was gross as well I took the bird in to the vet for a check up. Thats when i found out she was a girl 3 years and no eggs? Well She had a bacteria infection. And if I hadent taken her in she would have died :(  so maybe ask a vet and not people on yahoo..  

Answer 2

It sounds to me like she's and girl. She could have egg binding and only a vet can fix that. Take her to the vet now!

"As we move through the breeding season, there is increased discussion of the problem of egg binding. What is egg binding? Egg binding is the inability of a hen to pass a developed or partially developed egg. A partially developed egg can have either a soft shell or no shell. Many cases of egg binding occur when a hen is trying to pass what appears to be a "normal" egg. The inability to pass the egg quickly results in the death of the hen." - (this applies to ALL birds)
