Calcium for Egg Bound Hen

[Miss Lydia]

Yeah was wondering how we’d be able to suction out the egg fragments. I think that would def take a vets experience

My daughter said that the fat end of the egg is near the vent, so it didn't flip at all

 

[Miss Lydia]

Any way you could lube her up and gently work it out?

Any experience with this?

Egg is at the vent fat end first. Been like this for a few days. I'm not sure how often this hen lays. Crop is slow but after some water was tubed into her crop, that's slightly improved. Her poop is flattened because of the egg.

I think we're going to have to try since a vet is not an option unfortunately

I would use lube. This will help ti slide the egg out and hopefully not break inside her

I removed 3 eggs from a hen with a vent damaged from a vent gleet infection. I described what I did here.
Good luck. I hope you have a better outcome than I did.

I'd try a bit of lubrication and see if she's able to push it out.
Fat end first (coming out) is the correct position.
