I think one of my hens is maybe egg bound. She passed an egg the size of a grape. Then passed runny yolk. But is still standing hunched. I soaked her, Then tubed 60 ml with antibiotics, calcium, and a bit of Kaytee baby bird food. Always the sweet ones, right?

as far as tools, or where to cut?

scissors, any kind works. Don't cut any blood feathers back too far. I clip mine like the picture on the far right.

Perfect! That's what I need, thanks!
Is it best to do just 1 wing or both?
I hate grounding them but can't risk them landing in neighbors yard anymore... :/
