I’ve had to deal with egg binding and a broken egg in the oviduct on three occasions.
This as near to the advice I received from my vet as anything else I’ve read.
A particularly good point about making a small hole in the stuck egg and syringing out the contents.
A little more detail about flushing out any remnants of egg would have been useful.
I prefer to use coconut oil to Vaseline’ it’s less viscous.
If you use bookmarks then add this article.
Well written informative and intelligent advice. There aren’t many articles this good.
I'm really glad I read this article. Nice preventive tips along with what to look out for and how to help your hen if she becomes egg bound. Thank you for writing this!
Any one who is new to chickens this is a must read! I myself have only had chickens since April 2018. Now I know how to properly check if a hen is egg bound and how to help her.
