9 ) What is your intent as far as treatment? For example, do you want to treat completely yourself, or do you need help in stabilizing the bird til you can get to a vet?
Do it my self
10) If you have a picture of the wound or condition, please post it. It may help. I'll post them in a bit.
11) Describe the housing/bedding in use
Shavings, free range
Egg is protruding out with a fleshy substance around it. I can't really find the edge of the vent.
Should I brake the egg and try to take it out?
Should she just be culled?
She is a fairly new layer.
