So sorry you are going through this! I understand how you feel about your little feather baby! She is very lucky to have someone who cares so much.

thank you... I’m very luck to have her how long can a chicken be egg bound before she succumbs to it?

Oh I'm so sorry I would have no idea what to do in this predicament

If she does heal I would not breed her. you could pass down a bad genetics.

I could be wrong about this but that's what I would do

I don't know,I have no experience this issue. Wish I could help.

Is there any way you could get something inside of her to hook the egg and pull it out. Like a bent nail. I would be extremely careful not too hook anything else.

Think of it this way if you do save her this would be good experience. if anything like this were to happen in the future. Which I hope doesn't.

I'm sorry, don't mean to be controversial,, but there is no way on earth I would suggest inserting a bent nail into this poor baby's vent! She's been through so much already, multiple proddings and baths and not able to pass the egg. A nail could rip her insides! It could introduce new infectious material to a tender and possibly damaged tissue. OP has done heroic deeds to try to help her all without the benefit of a vet or a willing parent. Sometimes the best thing is to let the body rest, hopefully to heal, possibly not. But a nail?
