    For information/education - egg bound chicken

    I am so sorry. Thanks for posting this. My Lucy had the same symptoms 3 weeks ago….she managed to pass what I was told was a “lash egg”….this was after 3 days of sitz baths, colloidal silver drops and fenben (I thought maybe worms when I couldn’t feel an egg in her vent). I went up her vent as...

    Thank you. I will keep a close eye on her and see what happens. I guess she will just keep living her best life until the Lord says otherwise!

    Thank you both…. I have been struggling to give her extra calcium, but I will redouble my efforts. Yes she has perked up since she expelled this last night…. She has been really quiet and this morning she is softly cooing away. I will check out the posted links on the las eggs. Thank you both...

    Hi, I am new here and would appreciate any feedback more experienced chicken folk can give me. I have a red sex link that didn’t seem well four days ago. I went to let my flock out and feed them in the morning and she was standing still and puffed up and would not move. She is eight months old...
