    Hen with hard membrane sticking out of vent?

    There were no separate albumen or yolks coming out other than what was wrapped around the egg that came out before the membrane that I witnessed or saw evidence of. She is doing very well, completely back to herself. The antibiotics have on hand is neochlor. Broad spectrum. There is no...

    Hen with hard membrane sticking out of vent?

    My biggest concern was whether or not to pull it out or let her pass it on her own and I waited as long as I was possibly comfortable with before pulling it out. I may have saved her. Time will tell but I'm sure she has a better chance now. Pepper is my favorite most sweet girl in the entire flock 🙏

    Hen with hard membrane sticking out of vent?

    Thanks, I think there is probably some more inside although when she pushed the previous egg out it had membrane and yolks on it all wrapped around the shell it was really mucky. I hope she will pass whatever may be left. As soon as I brought her into the house the other day I started her on...

    Hen with hard membrane sticking out of vent?

    Update * It pulled out with a little effort. It was a HUGE membrane from what would've been a giant egg. She seems ok for now.

    Hen with hard membrane sticking out of vent?

    I will keep working on it. I am using castor oil. I have a syringe that I squirted a bit right up along side the blockage. She seems to be making the odd noise when she pushes but other than that she is still approaching me at the cage and taking bites of food

    Hen with hard membrane sticking out of vent?

    It seems like it may be a shell membrane that re hardened a bit. When I had her in the bath, it feels like a rough peice of plastic that is pliable to some extent. It does bend. I just fear that if I pull it out I am going to cause a lot of damage.

    Hen with hard membrane sticking out of vent?

    Hello I have a hen that wasnt doing well yesterday, just sitting in the corner not interacting. I brought her in and gave her calcium as I suspected she was egg bound. She passed a large egg with what appeared to be a soft/slimy membrane on it and I thought that would be it, she's eating...

    Safety of buried eggs?

    I know that in the UK egg standards are really different than us in the US or Canada. Because of reading up on how the UK stores eggs, I will leave them out on the counter to consume for up to two weeks in a basket, provided they are not soiled looking. My hens started laying recently but I do...

    Rooster is jealous and aggressive when chicks start to hatch

    I have two silkies, the one being my broody hen and she will hatch anything. They haven't yet succeeded in hatching their own chicks, and they are in a coop all to themselves. No other birds of any kind, just the current batch of quail eggs under her. He doesn't like being away from her and he...
