Egg bound?? Puffy rear-end

Hi! ...need some advice. I have an Ameraucana hen that has a bare hind end below the vent, that is quite puffy. She's been like this for a while....seems to eat and scratch around with the other hens normal enough. I don't think she is laying...at least not consistently..

Is this "egg-bound"? ...what should I do?

Thanks,
Lee

Peritonitis was my thought as well.

...any thoughts on what to do? is it treatable? the rest of the birds seem fine.

Have you looked closely to see if she may have mites?
