Hen just sitting listless with humped back.

She's out of the bath and we're drying her off. I'll feel the lump (?) when she's out

Hopefully it's good news!!

Be sure to get her nice and dry. You don't want her to get chilled on top of whatever else is wrong.

She’s being put in a dog crate with a heat lamp in my basement. Thank goodness she’s easy to pick up! She’s behaving really well.

I don’t know much about treating lumps, but Ravioli has a similar stance when she is egg bound.

How's she doing, Welchie?

That's what I thought it was.

I felt the “bump” but it was just feathers, not an actual lump.

Well I bet the soak did help her relax a little. Ravioli’s life saver has been the calcium plus D3 for egg binding. 600 mg per day for a few days, no longer than 1 week. I hope your hen is okay!!

She’s a lot less droopy. She’s in a crate at the moment.

I gave her some mash with crushed calcium tablet in it. She ate a good bit of it.

She just laid a relatively large soft-shell egg. I'll post pictures in a minute.

Do y'all think she's okay to go back in the coop?
