    Eggbound duck

    My almost 2 year old khaki Campbell, Amelia, is having problems with an egg. Looks like she is pushing with now luck. She is eating, drinking, foraging, and pooping. I soaked her in a warm epsom salt bath for 30 min and then let her rest. She does seem tired and hurting. She did lay a good egg...

    One of my Rhode Island Reds (4yo) isn't well — she is squatting and lethargic and won't leave the coop for the run, won't eat or drink. It's been 2 days. I suspected she's egg bound, and brought her in for a warm water bath, and have her crated in the house. She's standing up like a turkey...

    Egg bound hen- struggling to both breathe and pass egg

    Hi, I have a production red, age 3 or 4, who I'm pretty confident is eggbound.

    Ameraucana Eggbound??? I need help

    My Ameraucana has seemed to be eggbound since yesterday, but also has other symptoms. She sits with her tail faced downwardsin a squat, like she's trying to push it out all the time. Her poop is lime green and small. Since she is eggbound, I think that might be why her poops are small, but also...

    Eggbound hen? Please help!

    Hi BYC, After researching the symptoms my bantam chicken had, I think she might be eggbound. For a couple of days she’s been waddling around, dragging her tail and she can’t stand up correctly. She uses her wings to stabilize her but she can’t balance. She waddles around for a bit but then stops...
