    Egg bound hen, need supplement help.

    Not a huge one. Several runnier ones. Which is normal for her because of all the liquid she’s having. She’s currently nesting, has been for an hour now, but doesn’t sound like she’s having too much luck laying.

    Egg bound hen, need supplement help.

    It did. No egg yet but she’s bright and talking a lot. Also ate a ton. Now I’m wondering if it wasn’t an egg at all but something else. I’ll be checking for an egg again soon though

    She ended up eating a couple of pieces of egg, then turned around a few times and lay down again.

    Egg bound hen, need supplement help.

    I will not soak her again tonight, however she was indoors and in front of a heater until she dried. She's also spending the night in the house, and in shavings.

    Egg bound hen, need supplement help.

    I didn't. I do usually check it every night when I lock them in for the night, but I dont remember feeling anything unusual. She got down as usual to say hello to me, got a midnight snack, and went to bed. All very normal for her. Right now, her crop seems very liquid (partially because I've...

    Egg bound hen, need supplement help.

    Her vent is pulsing, which makes me think she is eggbound. The only other thing would be that she was given a lot of cut green grass yesterday which is abnormal because her run doesn't have green of any kind. She also just came out of her winter molt, and has had one egg since then, Tuesday.

    Egg bound hen, need supplement help.

    I felt externally. To me, she feels fine, her vent area seems squishey. I can feel where the bone on her abdomen ends and I don't feel anything hard after that. I will be feeling for one in about twenty minutes, as soon as I get gloves. She's resting now, so definitely relaxed. Shes also groomed...

    I don't have calcium citrate on hand. so far I've given 1/4 B complex tablet. I have D3, but its a gel capsule. Should I open and give that to her?

    Egg bound hen, need supplement help.

    My almost two year old hen is likely eggbound. She's not her normal personality, doesn't want to move around, fluffed up, and tail down. I separated her from my other two hens, gave her fresh shavings and mash, and laid a towel over the side windows. She isn't giving any indication of laying...
