I guess the reason it sounds like it's not that to me was due to this line "When a hen is an internal layer, instead of the yolk getting taken into the oviduct, it is released into her body."
Since they were taken into her oviduct and stayed there, that makes it sound different to me? Unless...
Thanks for the response!
I went to look that up since I'd never heard of it before.
Based on what I read, at the time we took her to the vet I don't think that was the issue, because she said the 6 eggs she had were all in her oviduct. (All being different sizes)
If she's developed new eggs...
First off,, we would have had no clue she was egg bound if it weren't for the fact she's a pet chicken we pick up just about everyday.
Her eggs aren't near her vent so she still eats and poops normally, she acts like a happy chicken from my view.
When we took her to the vet, they x-rayed her...
We have a chicken that's been egg bound for 3 weeks, nearly 4 at this point.
The only reason I found out she was egg bound was like she'd go in her nesting box to lay an egg and no egg was to be found, she did that for 3 days in a row. Went and felt her belly and there was for sure an egg there...
Here's 3 of ours~
Came from a blue polish and a porcelain silkie
(The lighter girl has messy hair, but she basically looks just like the blue one when it isn't)
And then this is a baby with the mixed guy above bred back to a blue polish girl
I guess no one has seen this type of condition before?
I have some videos I took of him:

Since yesterday he started having some clear eye discharge.
I gave him a drop of VetRx yesterday, but Idk if it's going to do much of anything.
We've also been putting Oxine in...
I don't know if this will help, but when the quail were between 1-2 weeks old we did get a few quail who started to get bloody noses, we realized it was because they were so excited to see us that they were scraping their noses on the mesh wire, we put some plastic in front of it, and that fixed...
I hadn't either, but looking around it sounds like they do exists, but it's more of something that happens on rare occasion in coturnix and button quail's.
But now I've come across this thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/91005/frizzled-quail
So now I'm wondering if it's just a temporary...
We recently hatched these guys out about 2 weeks ago I think? There's one that for the past several days that just look different from the rest in it's group of 9 to me, but I keep wondering if it's just me that notices it.
Could this be a frizzle?
Or are they just more likely to be temporary...
There's these off white colored clumps growing on two of my roosters combs wherever there's grooves in their comb it seems? They're pretty hard, but still have a slight softness to them, feel kind of like the texture of a seed you let soak but a bit tougher. Has anyone else come across this...
