Hello. My chicken was egg bound. I noticed her acting funny last night and then this morning she wasn’t walking and had the regular egg-bound symptoms. I soaked her in epsom salt bath and gave her extra calcium. I left her alone in a dark and quiet place and she laid an egg shortly after.
The egg was a completely normal sized egg. After, she will wasn’t standing or walking. She was still pursing her bum hole like she was trying to push something out. The whole time she has still been drinking and eating. I left her in a separate cage in the coop for the evening.
Why is she still acting sick? How long does recovery take? I felt inside her again after she laid the egg and didn’t feel another.

I just read it......great information. Luckily my gal wasn’t completely paralyzed so she can still stand and walk a little, just with a limp. It looks like a surgery was involved with the article’s hen- I hope mine can recover okay without having to do that. Thanks for the info!
