i think my girl is egg bound. she's layed some huge eggs in the past month and now is bleeding from her bottom and hasn't layed in days, though she gets in the nest like she wants too. i was reading another post on here about the situation, so i took the advice and put some gloves on and lubed up with KY. I could only find the rectum though. I couldn't find the oviduct. I was looking for a chart online of the internal anatomy but couldn't find one. I would appreciate any help, verbally or a link online, about where to "search." Also, instructions on how to massage would be great too. She really doesn't want me to hold or touch her right now, so she must be uncomfortable. I hope the egg hasn't broken.
