    Help! Tried many methods of removing egg from eggbound hen

    For more than one week , our poor Golden Comet hen has been eggbound. We tried many methods like the Epsom Salt Soak , Mineral Oil in the Butt , and Coconut oil, still she had not laid the egg out. Are there other methods that have always worked with you guys? We would love to try them. Thanks :)

    Is Betacillin Drops (Amoxicillin and Clavulanate Potassium for Oral Suspension) okay to give to chickens?

    Yesterday my 6 year old Americana hen had surgery where she had a stuck egg removed (eggbound) but she was also having respiratory issues while they checked her out. At the end they gave this antibiotics, but on the box it says if for use in cats and dogs. We used it before for our cats. Is this...

    White Leghorn laying soft shell eggs and has very swollen vent.

    I need help :( over the last two or so days I’ve noticed my White Leghorns wings have been drooping and she keeps falling asleep in the middle of the day, and just overall doesn’t look great. I’ve been finding one egg nearly everyday that doesn’t have a hard shell… I’d say for probably the last...

    Egg bound hen

    My hen, Myrdle, is straining her abdomen and vent a lot, her comb and wattles are pale, and she’s waking funny. She is pooping fine, so I’m guessing she’s eggbound 😬. I just soaked her in Epsom salts and massaged her abdomen for an hour or so but she hasn’t laid yet. I’m planning on keeping her...

    Hen laid "egg"? Acting strange

    My 4 year old EE hen laid this "egg" after I massaged her tummy in a warm bath. I suspected a problem when she was standing oddly and acting quiet and abnormal. She wouldnt go to bed even if it was getting dark. After she seemed to poop this out she willingly went into the coop to go up to...

    Chicken update/ x-ray for not laying and full crop

    So I wanted to share this photo as a word of warning to everyone who has a lot of backyard space with possibly things that could injure chickens. I had NO idea that chickens would eat tiny scraps of hardware cloth, and I thought i was pretty diligent about picking them up. Dahlia started off...

    Hello! I have a flock of about 12 girls. A couple Roos. I typically get between 9-12 eggs a day. But the last three days I’ve only gotten one egg. Is this normal? I know it’s normal to not get as many, but will some of them just stop playing completely In the winter? Or do I need to check them...

    Quail death, anything I could have done?

    Hi everyone, I’m so sad to report that my pretty lady Rosie has passed away. I think she died from being egg bound (sorry can’t do autopsy, she was my sweetheart and I can’t bring myself to open her up) She had a very large egg inside her near her vent( I can feel it) but shows no other signs...

    I have an eggbound Turkin who's in really bad shape. She's huge and her skin is all super red. She's super stiff and walks really weird. Earlier she soaked in a warm/hot bath and was able to pass some poop, and then we put her in a cage for a bit. We fed her some egg (she was eager to eat). We...
