Egg Bound Hen - Help

[clayandsusan101]

Hello everyone, my name is Clay and my lady's name is Susan. We are new to raising chickens. We have a flock of four so far, A Plymouth Rock named "Rosie", Rhode Island Red named "Red", two Old English Game Banty's a rooster named "Kevin" and his mate named "KiKi".

Our Rhode Island Red is showing all the symptoms of being egg bound.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how we can help her with this?

Thanks, Clay and Susan

Hello and Welcome To BYC! Sorry about your hen. You'll want to post in the Emergencies forum about her... https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/10/emergencies-diseases-injuries-and-cures and if you haven't seen it, there is a great article in the Learning Center on diagnosing and treating it https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/egg-binding-symptoms-treatment-and-prevention
