    Symptoms of egg bound but no egg!

    Update: she definitely popped out that clear-white-green liquid it was stuck to her feathers under her vent and abdomen. She is currently soaking. What’s the treatment for internal laying or a broken egg??

    Very lethargic 3 month old Silkie

    My favorite chick (the one in my profile picture), Moscow, seems to be very lethargic and laying down. This afternoon I noticed that she was laying on her side (as if she had been dust bathing) and I didn’t think much of it. Just came back out to give them some fruit and she was sleeping and...
