What does it look like if you cut it open. Don't faint on us yet.

It’s more rubbery. And it’s kinda hollow inside. Like a mass it has yellow yolk looking stuff on it

It’s more like a rubber putty. If I wanted to play with it- which I would NEVER it would be like a thick slime. It smells Bad

Thank you for the description. I would say that is lash egg or Salpingitis which is an infection of the oviduct. You can try treating with an antibiotic like Baytril or Amoxicillin. Both can be ordered online. In the meantime, keep her eating/drinking. Hopefully she will perk up a bit since she expelled that, but there may be more.

How much and of which ??

 

[micstrachan]

@RileyHomestead I would go straight for the strong stuff (enrofloxacin), as salpingitis does not have a great prognosis and you want to hit it hard. ~6.81mg per pound of bird twice daily for a week. How much does she weigh? Do you need help with the math?

The 10% enrofloxacin (Baytril) shown above in the Jedds link dosage is 0.05 ml per pound (.25 ml for a 5 pound bird) given orally twice a day. Baytril is banned in chickens in the US, although it is used by some vets and is used in other countries as well, because it is one of the best for reproductive issues. The egg withdrawal time to eat the eggs is not easily found due to it being banned for poultry, but I would wait at least a month to eat eggs. Using antibiotics is chickens, as you know, is a controversial subject, due to antibiotic resistance, so keep that in mind.

How is your hen?

 

[RileyHomestead]

She still hasn’t laid an egg. I allowed her to go outside yesterday, to monitor her, and she was walking around, ate a little but would stay back and hide. She got into the box yesterday and for like two hours tried for an egg. Which didn’t happen. I brought her back inside last night. Did another bath, gave her olive oil (to help things slide down it she was backed up) and did saline solution into her vent. She stayed inside over night in a very private area. She’s alive this morning, her poop looks normal. I don’t see anymore yellow in it and I gave her food. She really isn’t eating much. Not like normal. But she is still inside. I was wondering if I should let her back outside again today to encourage her to lay in her box?
