    Antibiotics okay on Egg-bound hens?

    Well, she made it through the naight and I gave her another warm bath, whick she seemed to enjoy. Also, can an egg-bound hen poop? She just had some greenish goop and she's acting better (preening, walking around, clucking). All of the maggots are off, but her rear end is looking pretty nasty...

    Antibiotics okay on Egg-bound hens?

    Well, I don't have any calcium pills on hand, but I gave her some hard-boiled egg all mashed up with a crushed tums stirred in. I also gave her some chicken food (pellets) with another tums smashed in. There was also a little bit in her water but she made no move to try drinking.

    Antibiotics okay on Egg-bound hens?

    Yeah, it's definitely maggots. The problem now is the fact that she hasn't gotten rid of her egg. I'm still pretty sure she's egg bound. She hasn't died yet or passed the egg so nothing new. I may be wrong and there is no egg, but I'm pretty sure because she is experiencing all of the symptoms...

    Hmm, maybe they were maggots. A lot of poop came off of her in the bath (she is a very fluffy chicken). I think there were cecal worms, but I don't understand what could be causing her wound! I will try to post pictures of her ASAP.

    Help needed! Nasty egg-binding problem!

    Before I saw this post I gave her a mashed-up hard boiled egg with a tums smashed and stirred into it. She devored it and is looking a little lively. Still no egg. I already gave her one tums, do you think it's safe to give her another in her water? She seems to be doing okay, just resting in a...

    Help needed! Nasty egg-binding problem!

    Okay, I just checked her rear (she's out of the bath and is sitting in the sun preening), and I see a massive egg working it's way out and, on the lower right, there is a huge skinless area that I think is covered with blood. At first she just sat in a corner clucking every time I attaempted to...

    HELP!!!!! MY CHICK IS DYING!!!!!

    I am so sorry! It's very hard to know why or how your chicks are dying. I am going through a chicken medical emergency myself. Just remember to stay calm and gentle so the chick doesn't get scared. Good luck.
