I have a 6 year old Barred Rock who is walking on very bent legs.She looks great, is eating tons of scrambled eggs, had greenish solid poop today, but won't stand.
I contacted an avian vet who said she could have a egg high up in the oviduct. But I read another article that said if you checked your hen and didn't feel anything, then she wasn't egg bound. I checked her yesterday and didn't feel anything. She isn't straining at all.
Does it sound like she could be egg bound with a high up egg? If so, what do I do? She acted like it hurt when I lifted her 2 days ago but doesn't act like she has any discomfort today. I have Tums on hand which I can mix with her food - they have 300 mg calcium in each tablet.
