    Egg Bound Easter Egger

    Well, I did the molasses flush. She didn't like that a bit, but she got a lot of it down. I isolated her for the night. She has not been isolated much. Maybe it is just winter, They haven't got out of the coop for a few days. I know a lot of people who fee like her right now.

    Egg Bound Easter Egger

    She just stands kind of hunched over. Her crop is big and round and on the right side of her chest. It is fairly hard. I think her crop is very hard. She is starting to pick at it. I put her oin a heating pad in the nest today.

    Egg Bound Easter Egger

    I think I have an egg bound Easter Egger hen. In the last month, she started laying (I now assume it was her) huge blue eggs that were kind of thick and grainy with strong shells. These were almost the size of goose eggs and double yolkers and there were about three. Then I thought she went back...
