By locking the hen up. the hen can bound to its egg

I dont think locking them up will help at all. just scare the life out of them. You can not help a egg bound hen, we have had 5 and unfortanatly all 5 have died. You can't really even see it coming or happening.

You can help an egg bound hen. There are many different methods. try steaming its bottom but be careful not to burn it.

Can egg bound kill chickens?

It does not need to. You can help her if you are not squeamish. The hen must be in a safe warm, quiet area away from the other hens. If you have help, have someone hold the hen with her vent facing you and liberally but very carefully spread Vaseline or other similar produce around and inside her vent. This must be done with care as you do not want to break the egg inside her. Let her rest and she will lay the egg within a few hours or overnight. Watch this hen for more egg binding as she will be prone to doing this over and over.
