    URGENT!! POSSIBLE EGG BOUND HEN???

    The frustrating thing is we have no vets here that treat fowl. You start looking at symptoms, and it could be a dozen things. I had one hen egg bound, and she was straining and prolapsed.

    Something sticking out of hen vent

    Should I try to soak her again to help clean it? Epsom salts or leave that out? I don't know when she last laid. Someone lays eggs that are very soft, or sometimes has calcium deposits and is white instead of brown (tan). I thought was her.
