lay at least a couple of eggs before becoming stuck. In all of the years I have been breeding corns, there have only been a couple of times one became eggbound without laying at least an egg or two first. So, although it is possible, it is very unlikely that she is eggbound if you haven't seen even one egg laying around (check carefully). As mentioned in the other post, if she becomes very distended and in obvious distress, you might have to start to worry about her. Be sure she has a great place to lay - they sometimes retain eggs if they don't like the choices available.
