(above picture is not my hen, but this is what she looked like)

My hen looked like this yesterday, so I checked for an egg, and sure enough, she had an egg, so I waited several hours and she passed it on her own, but looked even worse after, so I checked again and this time she had a shell-less egg. By 9 PM she was so bad that she couldn't walk, and could barely stand, so I brought her in and discovered she was trying to prolapse and i could see just a little bit of the egg. Gave fluids and calcium, but she was getting worse by the minute, so I decided to get the egg out. By the time I was done she could no longer stand or even hold her head up, and she was open mouth breathing. Poop this morning is yellow w/little bits of green and urates, so, going to treat with Baytril, fluids, and Meloxicam and hope she pulls through. 

The peas haven't been laying for two months, so she hasn't been getting any lay pellets, though she does have access to oyster shell.

Poor girl    i hope she pulls through, i know she has the best care 

Thanks. Thought for sure she was gonna die, but she's still alive and looking a little better.
