Egg bound chicken defecated

[RighteousPine]

Did you feel for an egg, internally, whenever you noticed her staying in the nesting box and puffing up?
Any chance you could get a picture of that poop and/or poops that she's had recently?

ill go to the coop right now

 

[RighteousPine]

Any other abnormal behaviors?
Also, how long was she like this? Is she eating and drinking?

she started yesterday i hand fed her and had to open her mouth to make her drink with a syringe

That looks like normal poop. How is she acting?

I've had several cases of egg binding in the time I've kept chickens, and none of them presented with an egg that could be felt from the vent. This is likely because most egg binding involves shell-less eggs. And often, two eggs are involved.

At the first suspicion that a hen is having trouble getting an egg out, and sitting in a nest for an hour or more without producing an egg is a sign, I give a calcium citrate tablet whole into the hen's beak to help with contractions to expel the egg. This is the most important part of treating egg-binding. This is the calcium I use.

They can swallow it whole?

Yes they can.

I asked the same question because the tablets look huge. I was giving it to a bantam pullet so imagine my surprise, hahaha. Sure enough @azygous seriously knows her stuff! Just give those wattles a gentle tug to open her mouth and gently slide the tablet down her throat (go in towards the side~either side~) and release her wattles hold her head naturally (don't let her bend down immediately) and then give her a treat. Easy peasy

Is she making any noises?
