    She has been trying to lay for 3 days

    update: I lubricated her vent, she is still squatting but she is eating and drinking, I read somewhere that it can take a week or more sometimes, I feel sorry for her, she pushes and you can hear her strain. When I picked her up I felt to see if she had a egg, I couldn't feel anything, I don't...

    She has been trying to lay for 3 days

    She is a Dark Cornish about 5 months old , this will be her first egg, she has been at it for 3 days, she walks around and squats through out the day. Should I be worried? Here is a video, the account belongs to my wife (shared) but I uploaded the vid.

    What can I use as a scalder?

    I just did a few cornishx ... Once I bleed it, I throw it in a 5 gallon bucket and pour boiling water over it, grab it by its feet, dunk it a few times and hang it back up. The five gallon bucket works great.
