This is a life excellent posting on egg bound hens and treatment Thank you so much! Do you give the treated hen acv in her gal. water or baking soda or neither and makes electrolytes and vitamins???
Excellent information I’ve never had any of the conditions and hope I don’t. This information will be helpful if I do. That being said, I have found the occasional rubber egg or empty membrane in early mornings under the roost. I couldn’t tell who they came from. I’ve found lash eggs once and a very strangely warped thick shell. Without anyone exhibiting symptoms I don’t know who it came from. It’s been probably almost year since I’ve seen a rubber egg.
Very informative and helpful article. I also appreciated the explanation re different absorption times of various calcium supplements. Will definitely be stocking up on calcium citrate.
A very well written article. Clear explanations and simple steps on how to recognize and treat reproductive problems (egg binding, shell-less eggs, prolapse). Everyone should read this.
