I'm in this terrible situation where my red sex link hen is eggbound. I am 100% certain as I saw half a bloody egg on the ground next to her. She's all puffed up which I've heard helps her balance or something. She expelled some type of mucus from her mouth. I did give her 1 TB of olive oil which someone told me to do that helped their eggbound hen. I put her over some hot water that produced a good amount of steamed and held her for 5+ minutes. I also put olive oil around her vent and with a syringe I squirted some oil in her vent very carefully. She seems to be drinking water but not eating. She just sits all day trying to get that egg out. She was fine yesterday and all of a sudden today this happens. I do supply my chickens with oyster shell free choice and grit. I feed them PUrina layena layer pellets.
I'm going to keep her inside tonight with my portable heater in the same room. She walks only if it's necessary. She seems lethargic. I'm very concerned about her and won't even be able to sleep tonight. I called 3 veterinarians and there completyle booked and I told them it was a life emerecey but they didn't seem to care.
i PRAYING someone here will help me.
I just can't stop crying!!!
