‼️HELP‼️ Chicken with leaking vent and lethargic possibly egg bound?

[EasterChickens]

Hello everyone,

I need your help right now, my 2 year & 10 month old leghorn hen started laying soft shelled eggs a month ago. I started to feed her 1 calcium tablet (600mg) daily for 4 days but didn't see her lay an egg anymore, so I stopped with the tablets. At that time, she was still acting happy and healthy with her tail up. But about 2 weeks later she laid an lash egg. I wasn't too concerned of it, but a week after that, she started having a leaking vent which I assumed could be a ruptured egg inside of her. Now, she still has a leaking vent and is very lethargic with her tail down. Please comment any suggestions or tips ASAP.

P.S. I just edited this thread to make it a little more detailed.

Attached below is pictures of her lash egg she laid and her current status (with leaking vent) :

Much appreciated,
Valerie

Hello everyone,

I need your help right now, my 2 year & 10 month old leghorn hen is acting very lethargic with her tail down and with a leaking vent. I figured a week ago she was having some egg production issues in which i started to feed her calcium (1 tablet daily/600mg). Then 2 days ago, she laid an egg but it looked like a lash egg to me. Now, she has a leaking vent which i’m assuming could be a ruptured egg inside of her. Please comment below any suggestions or tips ASAP.

Could it be vent gleet? Can you give her a soak in some espson salt?

Hello Bluebaby, I don't think it could be vent gleet because she has been having some reproductive issues even with the calcium tablet I'm feeding her daily. I don't have epsom salt on me right now.

My guess is she has an advanced reproductive tract infection due to the lash egg plus the fact that she's clearly not feeling well plus the leakage. You could try antibiotics (I use enrofloxacin) but that will only treat a bacterial infection. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/lash-egg.1441042/#post-23895564

Maybe someone else will have more idea's that might help you.
