    Egg bound ? (48+ hours) but able to poop?

    Update: well, she laid an egg this morning! She seems to be eating a little more and drinking a little more. 🤞🏼 Going to see how it goes taking her back outside this morning. Poops seem back to normal and haven’t seen her gaping repeatedly again.

    Egg bound ? (48+ hours) but able to poop?

    Update: she doesn’t seem interested in eating today and has started doing a lot of repeated “gaping.” At this point, I’m assuming I’m just making her as comfortable as possible until it’s time for her to pass or euthanizing if that seems better.

    Egg bound ? (48+ hours) but able to poop?

    Ahh okay! So based on that, when I tried to feel internally for a stuck egg yesterday, I did feel what I think was an egg within the shell gland. It felt like a whole, intact, already hard shelled egg above my finger that I could hook my pointer finger around with my palm facing up, but totally...

    Egg bound ? (48+ hours) but able to poop?

    She’s a little over a year old now. As far as I’ve noticed she has been laying normal eggs, haven’t noticed any soft or abnormal shelled eggs in the coop. I think there was one broken egg in the coop last week, I can’t swear by it but I think it was an egg from a different hen (different colored...

    Reading more and starting to wonder if it might be egg yolk peritonitis. :(

    Egg bound ? (48+ hours) but able to poop?

    Newbie here, freaking out and need some help / advice please. Sorry if this is long just want to cover everything. I’m a little over a year into raising chickens, so this is my first encounter with what I think is a hen being egg bound. The day before yesterday (Friday, May 2nd) I noticed one...
