Have you been supplementing with any form of calcium.

Have you been supplementing with any form of calcium.

That is what I would do, I would give calcium citrate or calcium gluconate at 50 mg per pound orally once or twice a day.

She was egg bound. We put her in the tub filled with warm water and fed her one yogurt and seed coveted tums and less than two hours later she passed 2 eggs. She is doing much better now. And she never had any problems previously.

We put her in a warm bath and took large tums tablet and broke it up into bite sized pieces. We covered it thinly with yogurt and rolled it ensue it suet crunch seed mix to make it more palatable. Within two hours she had passed two eggs. She is doing much better now.

That is such good news!! I am so happy to hear this!! If you can get either of the calcium @casportpony rec. to have on hand both have been rec by a vet to help with contraction to move those eggs out. Just very relieved the Tums worked too to have them in a pinch is great.

I have a Pekin hen, only a year old, who has w swollen abdomen and is having trouble walking. She was injured last year by getting her butt stuck on a nail but she seemed fine. I dont know if she has laid yet this year because I also have her clutch sister and at least one of them is laying. I dont know what this could be or ehat to do. I will try posting a video here.
