Egg bound? Help!

[jessicatinnapa]

Hello ecperts
I have a chicken that I think is egg bound. She hasn’t laid in a week, she waddles using her wings for balance. She’s very sick.
I’ve tried all the remedies on this forum to no avail. Soaking, massage, calcium, oil. I checked her vent and I can’t feel an egg. Any other ideas what the cause could be?

Welcome To BYC

If she's been like this for a week, then she's not Egg Bound.

Sounds like she may have a reproductive disorder. Can you post photos of what she looks like and of her poop?

 

[Yah]

Take her to a nearby bird vet if you can't figure it out .

what color is her comb and her poop???

I didn’t see poop tonight. I’ll get a picture in AM if any is there.
I syringed her with warm sugar water and more calcium too after her epsom salt bath.,

Good. Is she eating and drinking ? and comb color? and her breed ? Pure breed or hybrid breed?

Does she have any lice/mites, injuries?
Is she crop emptying overnight?

I'd make sure that she's staying hydrated and eating.
