an egg broke inside my silkie hen!

Okay, she's going to need more than a couple drops of diluted tums. While holding your girl between your non-dominant arm and your body, use that non-dominant hand to hold onto her waddles. With your dominant hand, force her mouth open. Once the mouth is open, stuff your pinky finger of your non-dominant hand in between her upper and lower half of the beak. Now with dominant hand, grab the portion of Tums and poke it down her throat. Right now, desperate times are calling for desperate measures. This will NOT hurt her, although she may fuss with you about having her mouth forcibly opened.

Ok, thank you everyone

Lots of advice and instructions. After forcing the tums into her let her rest while you do college. How's it going?

I’ve got two big chunks of tums down her, and some scrambled egg. She is alert, but not constantly pushing anymore. I’ve got almost nothing as far as college done today

Excellent work on getting the Tums into her, and a bite to eat too! Sorry about your studies, or lack of time to study, but your girl couldn't wait. This is an incredibly serious predicament that she's in, and since a veterinarian is out of the question, she's relying on you to do the best that you can do, to save her life. We here on the forum are trying to help you do that. I'll keep you and your feathered family in my prayers.

I just did a third soak, and I can’t find the oviduct! I’ve felt everywhere, and I just can’t feel the egg, except through a lining... I don’t know what to do... she can’t pass it

 

[ButtonquailGirl14]

I got more food and water down her, but I really need help! It’s getting late, and she still can’t pass the egg
