eggbinding

Hi there, I'm definitely needing some help from anyone and everyone right now. I'm very concerned over my 5 year old Jumbo Pekin Cracker, as she came out of the coop this morning with her 3 year old sister and has been acting very weird. She's had a little limp for a bit now but today it seems...

So here’s the thing, when I let my ducks out this morning, one of them didn’t want to come out and was acting egg bound, but I checked the nest and all the eggs had been laid. I have two Cayuga ducks and each duck gives me an egg a day. There were two eggs in the nest. She’s got her feathers...

Hi all, We were just starting to get our first eggs from some Australorp chicks last week. The eggs had soft shells and the girls were eating them 🤦‍♂️. Then on the weekend (14.5.23) I noticed one of the pullets laying down a lot - she is probably the smallest of the 3 chicks and is the only...

Hello My 7 month old Silkie started laying last month, I’m not sure if she began laying too young. She laid an egg last night and was fine this morning she was fluffed up and it looked like her breathing was laboured with her tail up and down, she wouldn’t eat and her crop had not fully...

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...

Hey ya'all! So to start I'll tell you that three of my pullets started laying last autumn, and two of them layed eggs that were unusually long. Sometimes the eggs have small wrinkles on the pointy egg and slight noticeable lumpy sides. (They are a polish and a Easter Egger.) The EE's eggs are...

Hi, I have a production red, age 3 or 4, who I'm pretty confident is eggbound. Ive had this before with her several times 2/3 years ago which she passed shortly after soaking her in basin of warm water. Today however this method seems to have not worked despite having soaked for nearly 40 mins...

First off, I have had a whole genetic line of chickens come from one original hen that two or more died from eggbinding. I am down to the last two girls (original hen and daughter) who are prone to it. So about 5 days ago I noticed one (the daughter) has been looking eggbound - she is showing...
