Egg bound hen, need supplement help.

Is she eating?

If she's eating, you could try to get her to eat some chopped up boiled egg or scrambled egg with some crushed egg shells and oyster shells mixed in, to get some extra calcium in her.

I tried mash, she didn't eat any. Currently cooking her an egg

She ended up eating a couple of pieces of egg, then turned around a few times and lay down again.

How's she doing this morning? Did her crop empty overnight?

 

[Docdetective]

It did. No egg yet but she’s bright and talking a lot. Also ate a ton. Now I’m wondering if it wasn’t an egg at all but something else. I’ll be checking for an egg again soon though

It did.

Did she drop a big poop overnight?

Did she drop a big poop overnight?

Not a huge one. Several runnier ones. Which is normal for her because of all the liquid she’s having. She’s currently nesting, has been for an hour now, but doesn’t sound like she’s having too much luck laying.

Final update! She finally laid the egg and looks to be back to normal. Eating lots.

That’s great! Keep us updated on how she’s doing! I’m so happy she’s okay!
