    Egg bound or sick or something else???

    My hen has been waddling around, tail feathers down, and laying down every chance she can. She hasn’t laid in at least 26 hours. I thought she might be egg bound, but I just gloved up and felt around in her vent and can not feel an egg. There is a rather large round sack kind of between her...

    Egg bound or sick or something else?

    One of my buff orpingtons is acting weird today. Her tail is down and it seems like she’s shuffling around to walk, not going super far, and laying down every chance she can. When she is laying it seems like she’s trying to squeeze something out so I’m thinking she may be egg bound, however she...

    One of our hens—Joan Snow—(turning 3 in May) has started taking on the characteristics of being egg bound in the past week. She waddles like a penguin, is constantly flexing her vent as if she is trying to lay, but no egg can be found. We've read up and tried many of the remedies offered for...

    Hen passed away from possible lash egg or Egg Yolk Peritonitis

    Hi there I’m new to this chicken thing and I had a hen pass away yesterday. Two weeks ago I found her with a very poopy bum which I thought may have been vent gleet. I bathed and soaked her bum and all seemed to be well. Two days ago on Sunday I noticed her behaving oddly and not really lo ring...

    We Thought She Was Egg Bound... It's Pyometra!

    I just wanted to relay the story of the past week with my chicken since I couldn't find much info on it while it was happening. It is about Chooch, my 2 and a half year old silkie. She is very small, only about 2.4 lbs. She was egg bound once before when laying her first egg, but had never been...

    Does this duck look egg bound, or just injured?

    Please see video! https://www.dropbox.com/s/ptph5ylepd3ln7j/IMG_5357.MOV?dl=0 She's limping along, and I think she hasn't laid an egg in 2 days - not sure if it's egg bound or stressed from being injured in general. (I have three ducks and they usually lay daily, I'm suspicious that the missing...

    Cyst??

    Honestly I have absolutely no idea what this is. I’ve had chickens now almost 10 yrs and have never seen this before. It is a huge mushy lump above her vent, about 1 to 1 1/2 inches above. If she was egg bound it has definitely broken but she is acting absolutely fine. Eating her fill, drinking...
