Egg bound hen - am I handling this right?

[Zinnia-Hen]

She's been resting in a crate in the garage since yesterday, so she's comfortable, at least. I'll try to take her to a vet tomorrow if the egg isn't out by then.

And thanks for all of the advice.

I'm sure it's frustrating for you and your hen! Wishing good thoughts for you both

Any luck?

We took her to the vet earlier. They said it looked like it wasn't just egg binding. As in, the egg was out from where it came from but was trapped in the canal because of swelling, so she quit pushing. She was very swollen. Maybe congestive heart failure, or something?

Unfortunately, she did not make it.

She was one of my first hens. I'll miss her so much.

Aww, I'm sorry.

Thank you for all of your help and your condolences, you guys.

I just want to add that I think it may have been peritonitis or edema, hence the egg not passing and the foul smelling poop. Please, if your egg bound hen does not pass her egg within a day after treatment, take her to a vet. There's a good chance she may not actually be egg bound.
