    Quail suddenly unable to walk??

    Is it possible she's egg bound? When did she last lay, and is she pooping normally?

    Can being egg bound happen before ever laying their first egg? Sorry. First time chicken owner.

    3 year old silkie egg troubles

    ...egg since (about 5 days) and she had yellow on her bottom, like maybe an egg had broken. I have soaked her twice to try and help if she is egg bound. I cannot feel any hardness and, until today, she was getting in the box, sitting for a time, then joining the flock free ranging. Today she has...

    Hen not eating or drinking

    ...dirt already. I replaced their water with electrolytes and she has been chugging water and is eating now within the last hour she is acting totally different, in a good way. Wondering if she was egg bound and hot. Her comb is darker now too. Yesterday we had a record high temp it was miserable.

    Hen not eating or drinking

    Is her stomach bloated? Is she pooping, and if so please post pictures. Do you have a picture of the soft shelled egg she passed? And the clear discharge? Is her comb normal? Add some fresh water close to her. Have you seen any lash egg material? Is she eating?

    SOS Egg Bound?

    Usually an egg bound hen cannot pass droppings. What do her droppings look like? Maybe she has something else wrong with her since she was burying her head into her wing and the other chicken was attacking her. I would continue to monitor her and encourage food and water, and maybe giving some...

    Hen not eating or drinking

    ...had ruptured. She isn’t interested in food or water. I am in Florida and we have had record heat. What do you suggest? Could she have been egg bound? Stress from heat? The rest of the chickens are acting normal. I’ve replaced their water with electrolytes. I don’t think she has been laying...

    My pullet keeps sitting down on her hocks. Should I be concerned?

    ...been sitting down on her hocks for a few days but thought nothing of it since its hot. But just today she hasn't really gotten up, even if I tried to give her mealworms, and she's just been sitting. I don't think she's egg bound because she's only 4 months and hasn't laid yet. This is a pic...

    Vent gleet and now unable to walk

    I do not feel any bound eggs in her abdomen. I gloved up and lubed a finger and didn't feel anything hard in her vent either. She's a mess right now. I wet her legs and wet the ground under her. I fed her crushed tums anyway. I sprinkled some crushed shell in front of her and she is pecking at it.

    Vent gleet and now unable to walk

    ...look similar to some of the other hens. I think it's been a bit. I assumed since she was ill maybe her egg production was on pause. I will go out and try to check now for egg bound issues. I don't have calcium citrate but I can crush up a tums for her. They do have free access to oyster shell.

    Vent gleet and now unable to walk

    ...flock, you need to first know if you have it. You didn't mention if this hen has begun to lay eggs. That's crucial information. If she's egg bound, it can cause all of these symptoms. Egg binding also cause a hen to lose a lot of body fluids which can look like vent gleet. If she was...

    HELP ME EGG BOUND?!

    ...to swallow. Tums will work also. They can have egg shell troubles where there may be a soft shell, or too large of a an egg, and become egg bound. Do you have a picture of the wrinkled egg? Have you had any birds recently sneezing often? Do you feed a layer feed or have crushed oyster shell...

    First layer in new flock will not eat calcium supplement.

    ...oyster shell on the side. It worked pretty well in my last flock, with the exception of my final layer. She would not touch it and became egg bound, so we just switched to layer feed. With the new flock, my FIRST layer will not touch it. She's had maybe a piece or two. Got all puffed up...

    SOS Egg Bound?

    Hi to everyone, SOS. I wasn't expecting or prepared for egg bound chicken who is 21 weeks and laid first 6 eggs ( one a day small ) since 7/19. I found her laying down in the run with head tucked into her feathers at 2pm today while her flock members were running about. I immediately took her...

    Egg Bound - tissue or membrane around egg

    ...her vent and massaged her belly. I gave her sugar water and yogurt (which she loved). I observed her have diarrhea. If this was a normal egg bound situation I’d feel satisfied but I’ve never felt an egg behind tissue in a chicken before…I’m curious if anyone has observed this… While I do...

    Soon to be layer, suddenly lethargic.

    ...Now she's withdrawn, very still, and almost closing her eyes to doze off. Not the usual puffed up penguin stance that I've seen with an egg bound bird. She did lay a watery poop in front of me, though it wasn't that bad. It's warm out today, but not unpleasantly so. I picked her up, crop was...
