Hello
I hope someone can shed some light on this egg bound situation. My hen behavior is just so bizarre. She was recently sick with URI and seems to be healing from that. But her behavior is very mopey, keeps to herself, I never see her eat, I see her drink water, and doesn't really talk like the others. So I'm trying to diagnose her with something to explain her calm quiet mopey demeanor. She has some symptoms of egg bind so I picked her up and all I felt on the sides of her vent were I guess her hip bones? She's very boney. I really had no idea what I was feeling for honestly when I first grabbed her crop it was very obvious and knew right away it was the crop I was feeling. But with egg bind I don't know what I'm feeling for I looked at her vent and looked normal and couldn't see anything. Even when it comes to eating mealworms she looks at it for a long time and then in slo mo she eats one at a time and walks away I just want her to be healthy already!! I've been treating her and diagnosing her since I got her three weeks ago and there my very first flock! Wasn't prepared to care for a sick hen as my first go around
First of all I just wanted to say that if you go to the top of the page to "start a new thread," you can have your own thread that more people will see and respond to. To check for egg binding, just insert one finger into the vent one inch, and you will feel something hard if there is an egg. How does your chicken's crop feel most of the time? Is it full and puffy, or empty, and does it empty over night? Sour or impacted crop is a serious problem, and they can lose weight quickly.Hello
